Any tips on caring for a basil plant? This is my first one and it’s been quite the journey. It grew tall super fast and now has been falling over. I have some tied to a stick but it’s still leaning a lot & the leaves just always look sad. I’ve had it inside and outside and it’s the same, I’m going to put it in a bigger pot but not sure that will help….

    I’d keep the pot but increase the sunlight

    I’ve killed every basil that’s come into my home. I can keep my calathea white fusion alive easier than a basil plant lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Maybe a slightly bigger pot, more sunlight and some fertiliser will help.

    You’d want to search this but I wonder if you chop the top a bit of it would branch out more? I know a lot of plants do this but not sure about basil…?????

      What is the best to prop this one? Did you do water or put it directly into the soil? Or something else?

      directly in water. took about 3 weeks for my cuttings to root, and i put them in the same pot as the mother plant.
