@@dkadwoa4114 You can remove the lower leaves on the cutting and just leave the top leaves. Then root the stem in water. The nodes where you removed the lower leaves is where the new roots will come out of. You can also plant directly into soil, making sure to bury the new nodes and it will become a new plant.
I stopped pruning like that because i don't want to get tall. I just picked the top buds before it flowered so it spread into a brush up to 1 feet only with green thick leaves. Basil is super easy to grow i just water it no water is too muchh for them. It loves the showers more is better and grow super quick. As a matter of facts i only grew it once the next year it grows itself and self care lol no nutrients, or mulche added i just water it daily lots of it, thrives like crazy! Even 120 degree yes
Thanks for the instructions on its care. I didn’t know to do this. The basil I’m growing seems so fragile. It doesn’t like full sunlight it seems so it’s hidden in the shade of a raised bed and seems to be doing well there.
Thank you for this video I genuinely had no idea I had to prune my basil!!!! I shouldve done more reasearch on its care before hand but at least ik now XD
The taste is way better when you have young plants from the seeds. It's day and night. These techniques lead to all the crappy basil leaves that you buy in the US grocery stores.
That plant doesn't form a base, so it is not basal. It was a plant esteemed by Greeks, so it was carried to the building called a basilica, where the basileus held his court. The plant, and many male children were then named Basil, like sick fish --> bass ill.
I just cut the flower off and it keeps growing leaves. Idk if i want to try this. Everything is going so well, id hate to screw it up. I may try it with one plant
Tell me what to do, I'm devastated. The pest control company sprayed over my herbs mint, oregano 3×3×3 (it was ready to cut it and dry it, it had flowered), over 100 basils, and some carrots.😢😢😢😢
I didn't know people would put full leaves on their food like we do with spinach. If it is anything like spinach then I would like to cut the stems off because if you don't you sometimes end up deep throating a stem and that's not fun.
Thank you verrrry much. I did Not Know this! I wondered why mine seemed not to produce abundantly, yet my friends was massive & we have both in a hydroponic garden. ❤
Well now I gotta go prune my basil
Update: already has tons of new growth. Made pesto with the pruned basil!
@@c.j.c.6293 dang now i have even the more reason to prune my basil!
@@axora7863 good luck 🙂
😂😅 I just said the exact thing 😅
Me too 😢 And I just wanted to play in bed. On the hunt for my scattered basil plants
Can also root the cutting to grow as a new plant 👍
How
@@dkadwoa4114 You can remove the lower leaves on the cutting and just leave the top leaves.
Then root the stem in water. The nodes where you removed the lower leaves is where the new roots will come out of.
You can also plant directly into soil, making sure to bury the new nodes and it will become a new plant.
Thanks so much for explaining how to propagate it for plant newbies like myself. I was waiting for this clip to explain that but it didn’t.
@@bibotgames Basil can grow roots from the cut, no need to bury the nodes
🦆 didn't even know basil could flower like that! Thank you for the information
😅
I love basil, so this instruction is really valuable. Thank you.
Ok, I seriously gotta prune my basil like yesterday. Thanks for the video, straight to the point is much appreciated.
Best ever short! Thank you, you used this moment to truly teach and not do what so many before have done “hint”.. A BIG Shout Out Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Remember to stop the hydra from forming more head You must burn it after you cut one head off to stop regeneration.
Hail Hydra
I actually like to eat those flowers, too. I put them on my pizza with the leaves.

How did you know so much is it a class or just online

@@MindandSoil Coincidently, today I was gifted about 60 basil plants! So I will indeed have a forrest! lol 🙂
Aloha hugs 🤗 I just went out in the Garden and did this I may have stopped bugs spread too
My buddy did this with his pot plants two years ago and it works!… he’s still trimming. 😂😂
Would love your pesto pucks recipe please and thank you!

Woo hoo! Thanks for watching :)!
"double it and give it to the next person"
Can those grow big in that small pot or they need to be in bigger pots. The basil forrest those are on big pots???
Waited too long on my plant and it’s almost dead. Can I still save it?
Thank you for this video I genuinely had no idea I had to prune my basil!!!! I shouldve done more reasearch on its care before hand but at least ik now XD
Thank you ❤

I have tried to grow it multiple times but always get bugs. Any advice?
Do some research on watering and spacing. Over watering and overcrowded planting creates an atmosphere perfect for pests.
Depends on the bugs. Use neem oil.
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching :)
does this work on mint too?
May basil leaves always gotten eaten by a caterpillar before they can have 4 🌱 idk what to do
Could I have the wrong potting soil? So heavy compared to what it came in, and plant is droopy.
Mhm just reminded me 😅 now imma go prune my basil
Can u give me seeds of that kind of basil leaves 😊
I have way to many basil plants that I know what to do w so I’ll just let them flower! The flowers are so pretty
WOW I sure wish I had them! 😁
and edible
@@indigodolphin the flowers are?
@@Iris-vd6tt yes, the flowers are edible :)
Those basil leaves are bigger than my avocado tree's leaves
I wish I could prune my basils like that, but snails and slugs have already done that for me and certainly they didn't watch your video
Haha! The snails and slugs can be pesky! Maybe next year :)
You started a chain reaction
the hydra of plants
Does anyone know how to care for cilantro?
this also works for tomato plants 😃
That plant doesn't form a base, so it is not basal. It was a plant esteemed by Greeks, so it was carried to the building called a basilica, where the basileus held his court. The plant, and many male children were then named Basil, like sick fish --> bass ill.
Applys to other plants too 🍃💨
The seeds grow pretty easily though
You bet! This is just a little jumpstart way :)
I can grow anything without a problem but i cannot grow basil and its driving me nuts
Is it true you can only harvest 64 times this way before the universe go bang again?
Infinite basil 🌿
he just poke a flowering branch into the seedlings pot
Thanks for watching :)
Next vid: Basil your prunes!
Bro found a infinite basil glitch
The pesto puck is so cursed
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for watching !
I know this, but not from basil 😉
Pesto pucks ok where’s that link .
Hail hydra plant
🐛 hi nice basil leaves you have there. imma eat em all k... .... .. ... .🐛🐛🐛
Hail hydra!
This also works on your penis.
Just like marijuana : )
I struggle with cutting plants I feel like I'm depriving them of natural growth and yk
Ok next tell me how not to kill my cilantro 💀🖤👍
I already know this but I loved the editing of your video. It makes it so easy for anyone to understand and digest in seconds.
i do the same for my mint! cant wait for it to really flourish so i can have mint tea and muddled mint lattes whenever i want :D
Cut one head off…,TWO more grow back. Hail Hydra!!*german accent
-somewhere in Cap America movies
Don't have to prune basil around here, the squirrels do it for you!
Going to put shavings of Irish spring soap around the bottom.Souirrels detest the emell
Pesto pucks? Do you have a video on making those? Would love to try it. 🙂
Following
Use an ice cube tray instead! Way easier!
Just make pesto and then freeze it on some wax paper on a baking tray, then peel them off and throw in a container once they're frozen
@@emmaaxelson7821 Thank you! 😊
I have done this for the longest time but for mint
It will also keep growing more and more flowers you have to trim🙃
Topping !
I just cut the flower off and it keeps growing leaves. Idk if i want to try this. Everything is going so well, id hate to screw it up. I may try it with one plant
Pls help for Curry Leaves, same problem with curry leaves! It's used in South Indian Dishes
Do you wash your pruning shears with bleach ?
My Tomato crops suffer from pest and disease, so i wash them with bleach then soapy water.
Tell me what to do, I'm devastated. The pest control company sprayed over my herbs mint, oregano 3×3×3 (it was ready to cut it and dry it, it had flowered), over 100 basils, and some carrots.😢😢😢😢
Oh man for weeks my basil has stopped growing leaves and only flowers, can I still use this technique long after it has flowered?
Finally, an easy method and explanation!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching :)
I didn't know people would put full leaves on their food like we do with spinach. If it is anything like spinach then I would like to cut the stems off because if you don't you sometimes end up deep throating a stem and that's not fun.
So this is why my basil plant is trying to turn into a tree
To make an even bigger or more lush forest of basil, root your prunings! It is so easily propagated!
Wow that’s amazing ❤
Hurry up and abuse this glitch before God patches it
Thank you verrrry much. I did Not Know this! I wondered why mine seemed not to produce abundantly, yet my friends was massive & we have both in a hydroponic garden. ❤
Oh damn I didn’t know basil was capable of becoming a flower
Yes it goes to flower and then seed at the end of its season, that is how it reproduces itself :)
The flowers are pretty but slow down production.
I believe most plants you see that aren't cone bearing plants, ferns or mosses grow flowers and bare fruit
I don't prune mine and they are 4' tall bushes, verity called "sweet basil"
foxisthebest... is that the kind that produces mammoth size leaves ??
Can we do the same for mint?
Mint is very productive and will definitely get more dense with harvest
Cool beans‼️
omori reference real!!!1!11!
Thanks reminder and for showing us the technique. I would love to have a basil forest. It's too late for this year, though.
So glad it was helpful ! A great idea for next year :)
It's a "herb"dra lol
🤗😇🌷🤭
I freaking love you [no homo] thanks for the education
Glad you are enjoy it! Thanks for watching :)
Niice, can you do one about Thyme ?
I just planted my basil yesterday and noticed that it was flowering and I wondered what to do then I found your video. Thank you sooo much! 😊
Well, you do know you can prune these seeds and let them ripen out to plant more basil, and the previous basil grows stems and leafs, right?
Link to pesto pucks plz
Amazing
