Prepare the Container

A three layered bread pakora can be your easy go-to tri-colour snack.

Plant the Soil

Use loose, well-draining potting soil enriched with compost ensuring an acidic pH of 6-7 for healthy growth

Plant Healthy Cuttings

Use 4-6 inch fresh stems, remove the lower leaves and plant them a few inches deep into the soil.

Water Regularly

Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, and water the plant only when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Encourage Bushy Growth

Prune the plant regularly by trimming its stems to encourage branching and prevent it from flowering.

Harvest

Harvest stems as needed, leave enough foliage for regrowth and check periodically for any pest infestations
