I bought a basil plant at Walmart about a week ago. Since I’ve had it it’s been repotted but a lot of leaves are dying. Any tips for basil plants? TIA!

I have two guesses. First, these are 6-8 different plants and may benefit from more individual space. Second, if the pot doesn't have drainage, they may suffer from root rot. What do you think?

#### KT svarte den 2024-10-05

And basil loves sunshine. I'm guessing you have that covered.

#### Abi svarte den 2024-10-05

Maybe it just needs time to adjust to the bigger pot?

#### Abi svarte den 2024-10-05

Do you mean you think it needs to be separated?

### Abi kommenterte den 2024-10-05

I’m not sure the pot has drainage so that’s not the issue

### KT kommenterte den 2024-10-17

I am sorry I forgot to reply. How is your basil doing now?

#### Abi svarte den 2024-10-17

Great! I removed all of the dead parts and she’s getting baby leaves now!

Yes, I meant that the different plants perhaps need to be separated.

Excellent! Beautiful leaves.
