Help! is this too big of a pot for my sweet basil? the pot is about 4in. in diameter and 5in. in height. my actual basil plant is about 4 1/2in. tall. i saw some browning ok the leaves and was immediately worried the pot was too big!

it might be a little big maybe check the roots for root rot having g to big a pit can lead to that

The best rule for potting any plant is to use a pot about 2 inches bigger than the roots. Dont choose the planter based on the size of the actual plant
