Ever wondered why the basil you buy from the supermarket never lasts that long? In this video I show you what you should be doing with your supermarket basil to make it last all summer. This is effectively propagation by division.

A little trick I use when transplanting tender shoots: I place half the soil into the side of the pot, lay my roots down, and top them with the rest of the soil. I then stand the plant up, gently tap it down, and add anymore soil necessary. This way I’m not cramping the roots into a hole.

I’m the same way. Predicative text can be helpful for me because of my failing memory. However, I do know when a word is used incorrectly and the grammar that should have been taught in school. The kids are not taught any more. Hence the need for apps for writing articles, letters and such other than written work.

Last year the basil plants at Walmart here in Kansas looked great. I re-potted the entire basil clump into a 15" red clay pot outdoors in the middle of May. By the middle of July the plant was 4 feet tall and quite bushy. I had fresh basil through November. This year the basil plants at Walmart are crap. I bought a nice one at a local nursery.

I've done this for 3 years straight, and the amount of basil you get (if pruned properly) is insane. I put mine in slightly bigger pots though, half a liter I think it is (Edit: MXC 13, so that's 0.8 liter pots). Also if you're lazy like me sometimes, you can remove the pot and just plant the whole thing in a bigger pot. They'll grow just fine, but obviously not as good as when you divide them into separate pots. Give them liquid fertilizer once every month. Really soak the soil. But only once per month, otherwise they lose their delicious flavor :)

@guyh.4553

The reason why they pack all that basil together like that is that they expect you to use it as a living/FRESH herbs. Not a long term plant. Just a transplanting tip for you. Bury the transplant at least 1/3rd way up the stem. 1st, it helps hold the plant up & not break off. 2nd, the buried part transforms into roots thus adding greater surface area for roots to shoot out of. More surface area, the greater the ability to take in nutrients and water to help the plant grow stronger Didn't know this trick, thanks!
@kerryl4031

You can also increase the plants and make the stems stronger by cutting the tops off and popping them into a jar of water and they will take root, then pot those up too.

Well, if you're going to do *THAT* you might as well save money and grow from seed! IMHO the supermarkets aren't selling plants to keep and grow. They're selling basil leaves with a neat system that keeps them fresh for up to a month. This system is called a "basil plant". But (as you note) they have neither the space nor soil to last forever. I think the product is honest and works well. But the supermarket is not a garden centre.

Sometimes I do it this way, but often I just take 4in cuttings and let them grow new roots in a glass of water. Roots appear in about 4 days, ready to plant up in 2-3 weeks. The shop bought "plant" (remaining seedlings in the pot) can be potted on into a larger pot and left to grow into a massive basil bush, 🤓🌱🌿🪴🪴

This is fantastic, thank you. Please can you do another video on coriander as I can't get that to live beyond 3 days! Ever! Many thanks, Ruth from up the road in Donny.

Thank you for this video. I bought basil and put the plant on the windowsill and it slowly died despite my careful attention. I'm going to try your advice.

Waw, good tip, didn't know it was so bad. I always heard those supermarket plants die quickly because it's a "breed" that grows quickly to be able to sell quickly, and subsequently also die quickly. Are there alternatives for perlite, in case it's difficult to find ? What about mixing in waterbeads, to have more consistent humidity in the soil and not having to water them as often ?

Not used waterbeds before. Pumice is a good alternative

I just transplant the lot into a much bigger pot and it lasts all summer.

I was out today with my friend doing planty things and she was talking about 3 Thyme plants that she bought at the market and they all died. I immediately thought of you Mr. Sheffield and this video. My question: Is this info also good for thyme?

Thyme should be more robust. Might have been something else

Interesting suggestion! Will it also work for similar size supermarket parsley pots? Thanks.

Parsley tends to be more fragile and break apart

Basil plants are quite thirsty so at least once a week maybe twice
