# I don’t happen to have a picture but I grew a basil plant from a seed…

_Publicado por Kiri el 2024-07-06_

I don’t happen to have a picture but I grew a basil plant from a seed and when it was about 2” tall I repotted it into a taller plastic cup as the roots were circling the bottom but now only a few weeks later the roots are poking out from the drainage? Should I keep repotting in deeper pots or does giving it more space just spread the roots if that makes sense?

Keep potting up if you want it to thrive and grow. You can keep it in the same spot and keep trimming and picking flowers if you want it to stay a similar size
