i’ve done this more times i can count while raising basil!! its not all plants that can do this, sadly, but basil, mint, and some others spring back to life really quickly!

Basil and clove I feel are underrated heavy weight champs of the kitchen 🌿❤️. Love the vid!

This is one of the weirdest flexes I've ever seen. "I'm too careless to water my plants regularly, but follow my advice anyway!"

Basil is the 1 plant that I’ve been able to revive so many times. Kitchen window and mines in soil now, my first one died and I decided to try again, and now I water it to the point of drainage every 2 days and I have so much basil idk how to keep up with it!

Is the brown part on the bottom normal???

[deliaarias]

For some reason all my basil plants die. I've tried and tried, but no luck. I have all kinds of healthy plants but not basil. I have a dead basil plant in my window sill right now.😢
