Steps
Move the pot to the sunniest spot you have, ideally a south-facing window or wall that gets direct sun for most of the day.
Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry. In cold weather that may be once every few days, not daily.
Pour water at the base near the soil, not over the leaves, and let the excess drain out of the pot holes.
Keep the pot off a cold floor. Raise it on a brick or stand so the roots do not sit in chilled soil.
On nights with frost warnings, drape a cloth or jute sheet over the plant in the evening and remove it in the morning.
Snip off dried leaves and dead stems with clean scissors so the plant puts energy into healthy growth.
Feed lightly with a little compost or organic fertiliser once a month. Skip heavy feeding in the coldest weeks.
Check the plant every few days for yellowing leaves or pests, and adjust watering or shelter right away.
Tips and common mistakes
Overwatering is the most common winter mistake, so always test the soil with your finger before watering.
Do not leave a plastic sheet on the plant overnight, since trapped moisture can rot the leaves.
Water in the morning so any splashes on the leaves dry before the cold night.
A pot near a glass window can still get chilled, so move it a little away from the glass on freezing nights.
Questions
Why does my tulsi plant dry up in winter?
Cold air, chilled soil and too much water are the usual causes. Keep the plant warm, water less often and remove dead leaves.
Can tulsi survive frost?
It struggles below freezing. Cover it on frosty nights or bring the pot indoors near a sunny window until the cold passes.
Should I fertilise tulsi in winter?
Only lightly. A small amount of compost once a month is enough, since the plant grows slowly in cold weather.
