Does my basil plant need a new pot? She’s grown so much! I don’t want her to be cramped.

Yes I would move her to a bigger pot

Thanks!

Also cut that flower! Herbs send out flowers after they are about done growing and trying to spread seeds before they die, if you cut the flower it’ll make it grow more leaves

I didn’t know that, thanks for the advice!

Of course!

Once herbs flower, they lose some of their potency-aroma and flavour.
