# HELP! I purchased a small basil plant a week ago form trader joe’s…

HELP! I purchased a small basil plant a week ago form trader joe’s and transplanted it into a terracotta pot and took four clippings. My clippings are doing great in their water but the original plant is suffering. I tried to keep it in shade, water more, water less, and put it in indirect light but nothing has helped. I am in a 6a 7b zone. Right now, the plant has been in my bathroom sitting about four feet from a frosted window but we don’t have much sunlight. The soil is an older potting mix what can i do?

Basil doesn’t transplant all that well, and it needs lots of light, air circulation, and water. It kinda seems like it wasn’t getting enough light or water. The stems also look pretty cramped so competing for resources. I would maybe pull out the little skinny stems and prune any dead foliage, harvest or propagate what you can, and give it as much light as possible and keep the soil moist, but not wet
