Looking for advise! How can I save this plant (Holy Basil- Tulsi)? I bought last week, repotted, add fertilizer and watering regularly. Please guide! Thanks a lot

It would do better in the ground outside, assuming your weather is warm enough.

Thank you

Holy basil is one of my favorite basils. A photo of the one I had is shown. It was in a 6 inch pot. I’m not growing it this year. I agree with KJM that they grow better outside. They like full sun once they get acclimated to it.

Thanks for suggestions

I agree. Yours looks like it needs more sun.

I notice you haven't pinched it off very much - you might like to trim it down (you can find guides online) to get it to branch out rather than grow straight up. Agree that it appears etiolated and needs more sun
