@fionamking_: Basil used to be my nemesis 🙅🏼‍♀️ Then I cracked it & have never looked back Tips below 👇🏼 - Get it planted ASAP in to a much larger pot - The plant can also be separated in to one or two plants - A big saucer & fill it with water! - Do NOT water the soil, only ever keep the saucer topped up - Then leave it - don’t touch the plant at all, let it grow - When you do eventually cut it, cut above the leaf node (not individual leaves) - And then cut to encourage more growth & make it more bushy! And that’s how I’ve done it, if you have any other tips/advice pop them in the comments #millenialmum #millennial #tipsandtricks #basil #hack

I managed to grow my basil plant really well for approx 8 months. It was doing really well but suddenly wilted and died. Do you have ideas as to why? 🙂

I eat so much of it that it doesn’t ever have enough time to actually grow

Obviously replanting it is crucial but leaving out how pruning it is essential to promote new growth and for it not to become bitter is crazy.

If you want it to grow even bushier, snatch the top leaves of to the next leaf pair and it will grow two new tops.

Don’t like basil, but did the same with parsley and origano from Lidl, was amazed at how long it survived!

Lots of Loops :
I’ve had more success buying the packets of fresh basil stems and removing the lower leaves and putting in a small shot glass or empty glass spice container filled with water, change the water every few days and within a week or so you’ll see new roots, once the roots are a couple of inches long transplant it into a pot of compost
