The tulsi plant will germinate about 2 weeks after you plant the seeds, and will grow its first set of true leaves 2-3 weeks later. The plants should be ready for transplant another 2-3 weeks after that.

In Hinduism, the tulsi is a sacred plant. Certain days are especially sacred to the tulsi plant, including Sundays. Plucking the leaves is forbidden on Sundays, and some practitioners of Hinduism believe that the plant shouldn’t be disturbed at all on that day—even to water it.

In Hinduism, it’s considered especially auspicious to plant the tulsi during the months of Jeyshth (May-June) and Ashad (June-July). During those months, any auspicious day will work, such as the night of a full moon.
