# Help me please!! I just got a basil plant and it’s been planted for…

_Posted by Clloeffler on 2024-03-23_

Help me please!! I just got a basil plant and it’s been planted for about a week. It’s been super rainy these past few days so I’ve only watered it once. The leaves are all turning brown, falling off or developing spots. Can I fix this? I’ve never grown anything before so I’m just hoping.

Following.

I just rooted some basil from the store. It grew roots but there’s a bit of black/brown on the leaf. Not sure if it’s from the sun or cold or what.

It is continuing to grow roots and 3 baby leaves though. I just repotted from water to soil.
