aww, you’re a great plant-mom πŸ’š

tbh i’m kinda jealous (every basil i grew died bc of overwatering or not enough water somehow)

Thank you, it fills me with joy πŸ’š

I found out basil likes nicely moist soil, bottom watering is great, as soon as is starts to dry out, bottom water it! Let me guess, I fill some water in it like every 2-3 days, using a little plate 🍽️

My basil always dies, what can I do 🀣🫠

Maybe this could be useful:

Not too many stems in a pot, I got 3 in there

I bottom water it and make sure the soil is always nicely moist, fill the bottom with water when it is starting to dry out

First I grew it from seeds under a lamp, then I cut some and propagated in water, the change into soil went pretty good and now it looks like this :)

When you cut it, make sure there are still new growth points on the stem🌱🌿πŸͺ΄
