Questions /Answers
My Basil is growing like a weed and is overshadowing its neighbour plants!
Among gardeners, Basil is known for its rapid growth. This might put its neighbours in a bit of shadow, so don't hesitate to cut your plant regularly in order to avoid your other plants from growing. Another tip is to just only fill the pot half, this way your Basil will be lower.
My Basil is dying!
Did you cut your plant correctly? Basil hates it when you only pick some leaves, leaving it bare naked. Brr. Please take a look at the video in the growth diary. Otherwise, it's normal that your Basil will die at some point, it's an annual plant.
There are some strange black spots on my Basil, should I be worried?
Take a good look at the black spots. Do they move? Then it's probably little insects, you can wash them off with a bit of black soap. They don't move? Then it's very likely that you have burnt the leaves of your Basil, the light might be too close to your plant.
