Full sun in the window, water as needed.
Since I don't know what soil was used or how large the pot is, it's hard
to give watering instructions. ;-)

Just check the soil by feeling it (and be sure to check the level a bit
deeper into the pot) and water when it feels dry, or the plant wilts,
whichever comes first.

Basil is pretty hardy. I grow it every year out in the herb garden.

To prolong it's life, remove ANY bloom stalks as they appear!

Basil is an annual so it will eventually die, so don't feel bad when it
does!
