Don’t Throw Away That Old Basil Plant! Basil is a universally-loved herb. Its easy to grow from seed and readily germinates at room temperature and grows indoors. However, your Basil plant can easily start to fail due to weather damage, wind burn, drying out, over harvesting, over watering, and even from becoming pot bound.
In this video I show you two different potting methods to save your dying Basil and put it back on track for maximum growth for the rest of the year. Its faster than starting a new batch from seeds, and you’ll once again be swimming in Basil leaves soon enough!

7:59 you got that the other way around
wow, you’re talented
Great information! I'd encourage you to stop ending every single statement as if you are asking a question. It's very hard to listen too for a long period of time.
Wouldn’t it damage the plant cutting the roots shorter (method 1)?
Great job
That giggle when he talks..
One time in band camp……
I saved my basil by confronting my inner demons.
I like the way you talk, you put and !!!! after each sentence LOL
why didnt the gang do this to basil in the neutral ending?????????
“H hey Sunny, you’re back- wait, why do you have a watering can?”
I didn’t know Basil was a plant…………….
Great video, thank you! I mistakingly bought a basil plant with very tall stems that are drooping now that I took the plastic covering thing off. I cut a few to try to propogate them in water under the node. Do you have any suggestions for basil CPR in this case?
Watching this video I just thought of Basil from Omori
Instructions unclear, now my Basil is screaming
Does this work for other veggies?
Basil: dies
Sunny, with two pots filled with soil: it’s alright guys I got this
Can this be done with an established plant that has been growing all summer?
This is a good information, although i am confused with the way you deliver your statements, by the end of your sentences it sounded like you are asking questions by your rise intonations
I have a problem with my basil:
I bought a basil plant in the supermarket and I started to give it enough water everytime. After it started to have more and more yellow leaves, I moved the plant to a bigger pot. I did this twice. But the current pot is one that barely fits in my Windowsill. The plant grew absolutely huge in a no time in that pot. And now I have been struggling for a while to keep the plant healthy since it yet again outgrew its own pot. It started to lose a lot of leaves and it just doesn't stop blossoming. Every time I cut off a branch with blossoms, it gets a new one. Right now I literally cut off half the size of the plant and it does okayish now. But I don't expect the plant to do this will for long since the roots are still coming out of the drainage holes.
I can't move the plant to a bigger pot because that won't fit in my windowsill, and I can't put it into my garden because I live in the Netherlands and the plant probably won't like the climate here.
What solution do you have?
how long do you leave the basil sitting in the water..? thank you
I used a similar technique as the second one with 47p worth of basil I bought from Lidl, a supermarket in the UK. I got 23 healthy plants from it, and have been cropping all summer. Most have started to look a bit sad now, September, so I harvested most and dehydrated the leaves for winter use. I've kept 3 basil plants in large containers, fingers crossed they survive the winter (in a greenhouse)
I brought home two basil and mint plants from the supermarket but left them in the container they wilted. I tried watering them, but it didn't work, now they're gone black, this is the second lot of basil plants I have brought that have gone like this! what am I doing wrong? and how can I fix this? I keep my plants in the kitchen
Sidney is a great town, I'm going to look out for you at the farmers markets now!!
Buddy you need to contain your excitement while talking. It's distracting to listen to you. I can't absorb what you're saying because you're too animated.
Honestly, this is like gnarly dude.
