It’s been my personal experience that basil loves a very deep pot.

Is this too small? It’s about 6 inches or so

#### Sarah svarade den 2025-08-13

I would try 10 or so

What a drama queen! 😂 I'm sure she will get over herself after a couple days and good watering.

It is probably in part transplant shock. Also looks like it just needs a little water.

Echoing what others are saying^  
There are also a lot of basil plants in that one pot all competing for the same resources. May be worth repotting some so that it’s not as crowded!
