Water: Keep media lightly moist, but not waterlogged
Airflow: Grow in a bright and airy location
Media: Repot using Chaiyo Universal Substrate
Optional Amendment: Add a small amount of Perlite 2–4mm if your growing area is humid, shaded, low-airflow or the media stays wet for too long
Avoid: Overwatering, soggy media and harsh afternoon sun immediately after repotting
Recommended Chaiyo Mix for Home Growing
At our Thailand nursery, we grow Shiso Red using 100% Chaiyo Universal Substrate under nursery growing conditions.
For home growing, we recommend
Chaiyo Universal Substrate as a suitable potting base. If your growing area is more humid, shaded, low-airflow, or the media stays wet for too long, add a small amount of Perlite 2–4mm to improve drainage and airflow.
Adjust watering based on sunlight, airflow, heat and humidity. Shiso Red enjoys consistent light moisture, but the media should not stay soggy.
Harvesting Tip
Harvest leaves when needed by picking outer leaves or trimming small stem tips. Regular light harvesting helps encourage fresh new growth.
