![]() The first photo has two plants in a 3 gallon nursery pot and the second photo has a single plant in a 3 gallon nursery pot. Here are a couple of my plants that were started from seed in community pots with 6-7 seeds. Otherwise I would snip all but two or three of the plants to the ground at harvest, in order to allow the remaining plants to fill out and mature into bigger plants. They may slow down a bit or suffer a little transplant shock, but usually do just fine. ![]() It takes longer than you might think, about 12 hours or so, but then the firmness will return completely to all of the basil that had not wilted beyond the ‘point of no. This s similar to if you had freezed them (as whole, as paste). How can you have too much basil Basil is a fast-growing herb, and planting an entire packet of seeds rewards you with many basil leaves all at once. I wouldnt even try to salvage the black leaves either. The water has to be clean, because the basil will take on any bad smells or tastes from the water. Unless you have a greenhouse Id pull it and look forward to next summers new basil plant. I would separate and plant such plants in one's and twos as noted above. Just submerge the wilted basil in cold (not too cold) clean water and wait. Many nurseries will allow 5-7 plants to germinate because they fill the pot very quickly and make it look like a very vigorous plant. I combat the issue by working a good portion of perlite into the potting soil of potted plants.Īlso I always thin plants to no more than one or two plants per pot as IMO they will grow more vigorously for a longer period of time if not over crowded. ![]() The plants like to dry out between waterings, and don't like to stay overly damp for too long. As far as your plants are concerned, I think that they are suffering from excess water.
