I accidentally cut all the basil leaves since a lot of them had a greyish layer below the leaves. Since the plant is young I thought I’ll just cut everything to be sure. I forgot to leave some for photosynthesis. Will my plant survive? What do I do? 😭

It looks like you might have a couple of very tiny leaves already coming in. Basil is pretty hearty so give it a few days and make sure it gets regular watering and LOTS of sun. And keep us posted!
