Basil care guide 🪴| How to keep grocery store basil alive

Hello friends,

Today is all about basil: what to do with it when you buy it from the grocery store, what light and watering it needs, and pruning and propagation. I also mention the pros and cons of growing basil indoors vs. outdoors so that you could grow as much of it as you can 😎

Second and best video on growing basil I've seen. You literally answered all my basil questions that I've had and would have thought about later I'm sure. Thank you for the valuable info pack, love it like I love basil! :)

Wow, sure wish I'd found you sooner, after all the basil plants that I've been killing over the years 😆. But thanks to you, I suddenly feel as though I am in charge of my newest basil plant and know exactly what to do, especially about pruning and propagating and how to correctly harvest it for use. Thank you so much for such an informative and incredibly useful video. Maybe I can have fresh basil all year long, too! 🥰😋

I honestly had no idea I could just clip a stem and propagate the basil like that!! Thank you!!

I have found roots grow anywhere on the stem also so I just cut to size glad someone else made the same observation. Good luck!
