Let's see…
I can buy a Basil plant (maybe even two in one pot) from the garden center for $4.98
or
I can buy a Basil plant (with 68 million sprouts) from the produce department for about the same price…
Let me think here…
A very experienced japanese lady tought me to always cut with scissors the top of the plant, in order to not allow it to grow tall but thicker.
Unfortunately I planted mine in the garden and the slugs and snails ate them
I needed this today thank you 🙏🏽
or you can soak the root ball in water to dissolve the dirt and easily separate them. Gentle swishing should start to break to down to allow you to easily seperate them…
Is it a store or a shop in Sheffield 😂
Cut it back and you will get more basil.
Thanks for this . I thought Basil plants just hated me. I will try to repot and see what happens.
this must be why I lost cilantro bought at grocer's but not in pot. A clump of them. So I sat the clump in a jar of water. They died quickly.
Crowding the pots is just part of the problem, and they definitely need to be potted up after we bring them home from the supermarket. But root crowding isn't the only reason why all of the basil flags and fails at once: It's often actually caused by bacterial or fungal infestations that get into the plants. One of the most common is Fusarium Wilt, caused by fungus that invade the basil plant, blocking its vascular system (the "plumbing" that delivers water and nutrients from the roots to the stems and leaves). Fusarium spores (the "seeds" of the fungus) can be in the growing mix the plants come in, or introduced after purchase. If your basil wilts all at once, despite still having adequate root space and moisture, it's probably Fusarium wilt!
You get a couple of weeks? Seems we cant get 5 days
👍👍
We do this and from May onwards put a couple in the garden too. They grow huge in the ground.
Weeks? Days!! Literally, the thing will only last a couple of DAYS! Also, I noticed, it seems that there is some systemic weirdness going on with the plants (at least, here where I live, in the US). Hmm… !
Brilliant.
Thanks so much for this super clear and super useful video.
I’ll be off soon to bag a basil plant and then separate, pot, trim and hope 🎉
Cheers mate, I was wondering why certain herbs died. I thought it might be because of this reason. But thought nahhh they wouldn't sell them all together if they knew they were just going to die? But then, they make more money don't they, when you go back and buy more. The dirty scumbags.
Yes you can root all the cuttings too.
Sometimes could it be cut worms
I almost bought some of this at the store today but was a lil eary about it I may have to go back and buy some .
If someone kills their basil they need an award! That stuff is the most hardy herb there is. It took over a flower bed! We learned our lesson and put it in a pot
When you said “pull this guy’s trousers down”, I screamed 😂😂😂
Thank you so much! I love basil.
Seems like a scam. You could have bought a bunch for whatever you were cooking but instead shelled out the extra cash for the plant. Thank you so much for this! I did start my own this year though. Will make sure to thin.
