  • Basil Faulty

    I have grown some basil from seed in containers and although the leaves were quite lush and broad, the stems only grew to about half an inch! Anyone any ideas why they were stunted?

    Basil needs a lot of water, I recommend daily watering if they are in containers. How well did you water yours?

      Certainly not daily Mark, I'll remember that in future, thank you.

        If the leaves have dry brown patches on them, then they have dried out. I have mine in a tray which I fill with water, which saves having to water every day.
