He doesnt say…its a bit off topic..but if you take the "main" growing stem, as he shows. and then cut it off, as he shows, but instead of eating the cut off bit you suspend it is clear rainwater it will start to put out roots within a week and after about 3 weeks it will have all the long hairy roots you need to plant it in the garden. I know because I do this every year. What an amazing plant! Why doesnt everyone grow it?
Interesting, thanks.
Kevin, you explain these techniques in a very clear easy to understand way while also explaining the why and what.
Hopefully they dont patch this glitch in the next update
Same with weed
So is it that when the plant has flowers it‘s over afterwards?
Awesome advice, thank you!
What shall I do if it already started flowering? Do I start over?
Dude I didn't know Paul Rudd had a plant channel.
hi,
my basil's stem has been turning brown.
any reason why
Kevin, did you know rubbing basil on your skin repels mosquitoes my poor basil plant is now my mosquito repellent plant I hit it first thing in the morning and rub it on my ankles and my arms and you don't need a whole lot
Can you over prune your basil? About when do you start pruning?

Basil and coleus are both mint family right?
It’s called topping, cannabis growers have been doing it for years.
What about with the cilantro? What way can I trim it? Thanks
Ty! Very helpful. You're awesome I appreciate it.
Thanks for the this information. I've been having some problems with lots of flowering with my basil. This video is going to allow me to know how to prune and get a better and fuller basil bush.
I like basil. I'm ok with one plant each summer, then dry them out and place in a jar. If I liked it a lot, I would do this. Thanks for video.
Thankyou for sharing
The root is in side pour water please ?

Can you do this with mint too?
Omg thank you my keeps getting skinner will prune it
2:16 "so the basil's thinks"… Confused vegan screams

Would you be able to do the opposite to force a tree sapling to grow straight?
Neat
Why do you not want it to flower? Mine just flowered the other day.
