I once had basil that lived for 2 years.

Now they just give up a couple of days after buying.

Don't try this with bought basil from the supermarket. The soil is not good. Plant it instead on your own. And if you use the leaves, pick only the leaves that begin just above the buds of the new leaves.

Our wild basil was growing like crazy on the balcony. Bees and bumblebees love it. It should be fine indoors also.

I heard that basil is very susceptible to chlorine from the water. Make sure to give it good water!

Huh. Need to test. Maybe the water sucks. This would be bad for so many reasons.

I'm looking into reverse osmosis and distillation. Either way, I want to put some good minerals and salts back in afterwards.
