# Hi everyone! Got a grocery store basil plant a few months ago -…

_Posted by 🎲Sunmoth🍡 on 2024-12-15_

Hi everyone! Got a grocery store basil plant a few months ago - separated it into two pots to help it survive. Overall it seems to be doing ok so far but I'm noticing brown tips, and spots on the leaves, what could that mean? Do I water more or less? Thank you!

Usually browning tips points towards low humidity. But since some of thats at the leaf base, I think it may be overwatering
