"more than you can possibly eat"
*italians laughing in pesto genovese*
😂 One caprese salad and the plant is gone 🤣
@@HodgePodgeHarmony but next year...you'll harvest even more 🙂
“Laughs in Italian” meme 😂
Fields lay barren and leafless as I inhale my third bowl of spaghetti
Unlimited Basil was the name of my third garage band
It’s 3am and I didn’t search for this but here I am.
It's 2am and same story here :D
Adding a tiny bit of organic starter fertilizer to each pot after planted helps with the adjustment from water to soil. My Noni had a never ending supply of basil plants growing on her kitchen windowsill. The light was perfect. She made the best pasta sauce I have ever tasted and besides the tomatoes the next ingredient was lots of fresh basil. Yum! She had a cardinal rule: always use fresh basil, fresh parsley and fresh garlic, never dried! Miss my Noni and her incredible cooking. 🍝🌿
I've lost count of the money I've spent and lost on grocery store-bought basil. This video and the one on separating the plants crammed into the original pot has motivated me to try again. Thanks for the encouragement.
You’ve got this ✊
Thank you for sharing. BLESS YOU. I'm so pleased as I use alot of basil. Greetings from South Africa🎉😅
I've just followed this to try and rescue my basil. Can you do the same for coriander?
@@syrus3k not so much for coriander.
@@syrus3k I haven't tried it yet, but it works for parsley so it should work for coriander.
The universe is trying to tell me something. I bought a pot of basil just 2 days ago and out of nowhere RUclips recommends this video. I'm doing this.
Sorry man, it's just a bunch of nosy rich guys pushing their nose where it doesn't belong
On the bright side, they actually did their job for once to help you

Great basil advice. I also wanted to say (unlike two other commenters) I thought the music in this video was perfect; not too distracting, with a modest amount of energy and not too loud!
Cool, thanks
Just wanted to give you a BIG THANK YOU for this brilliant idea! I now have TONS of basil and couldn't be happier😅👏 Absolutely love your videos 👍
Your a ⭐️ Nikolaos!
OK, is a bay leaf the same as a basil leaf? I have looked but can not find a bay plant, nor seeds. If they are not the same, where can I buy, bay plants or seeds? Thank you to who ever can help. I know it sounds like a stupid question, but, hey, haven't found the answer.😂😂
No not the same thing. They are completely different plants. Basil is a herb and bay leaves come from a tree. You could probably find basil in your local grocery store or both plants at a good nursery…all the best with it!
@@ConnieP92 thanks, could not find answer to this. No room for a tree here, but now I know.
@@sherrolmohn8686 No probs. We have a bay leaf tree in our backyard which we have to prune every few months because it gets too big 😅 you could probably have one in a planter on a balcony or front porch. It just needs ALOT of sun and rain
"More Basil Than You Can Possibly Eat". Psh, guy hasn't seen how I go through pesto...
I just asked my husband WHY does my basil always die when I transplant it??? Glad my phone was listening and recommended your basil video!!
😂 scary af
Just FYI I had nothing to do with basil in the past months and I got recommended this video too.
Your husband probably is the one who googled that. Google will use interests of people that share physical locations via gps or ip tracking.
It’s actually scarier that they can target you without even having to listen to you… That’s AI for you.
I've tried this, and given basil plants to family and friends.
And, if you wind up with more basil than you can use it freezes well. Pick leaves from the stems and put them in a good-quality ziplock freezer bag. Thaw out a handful as needed-if you want the leaves chopped, bash the frozen leaves in the bag, they will shatter into small pieces. Don’t freeze for more than a few months as the taste and scent will eventually fade.
Homemade pesto freezes well too
That single pot from the store is enough to plant out a sizeable container garden, along with some cherry tomatoes, even without propagating. High value starter, for sure.
Cherry tomatoes and fresh basil, just need some freshly cooked pasta olive oil parmesan cheese for a healthy and delicious lunch!
This is exactly what I needed to watch. You describe my very problem and now I'm better informed. Whew!
Thanks for watching 😁
I’ve done this with Rosemary because I needed a few bushes in my garden. Didn’t realise Basil could grow year round. 🙌🏼
Rosemary who?
Thank you for the video, I'm Italian and in my house there's never enough Basil😂😂😂
Thank you! I couldn't figure out why I couldn't keep them alive. I love fresh basil but it's stupid expensive where I live. ❤
Happy to help!
I'm in Brasil where, in the yard, we have wild basil everywhere. I have been making tea out of it for ever. Smells so good, tastes so good!
Ooo basil tea
Brilliant! I think Brasil gets more sunshine than Sheffield, UK! 😅
You can also use an exacto knife or razor blade and peel a very thin layer of the stem at the very bottom and/or dip the stem in honey or a commercial rooting hormone and then place directly into a starter pot and a good potting soil mix.
Once your new clones have taken hold you can use supercropping to make the plant grow bushier and produce more branches and leaves. That's when you pinch (or slice with a sterile blade or clippers) the top new leaf node on a branch, forcing the two lower side nodes to begin growing like their own new branches.
I live in Wisconsin and have overwintered basil plants. The one I had the longest was 4 years. This is good information to have, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
brightest spot in the house....so next to me it is !!
He's not wrong. I'm on my 3rd generation since first seeing this.
How much thyme did it take?
I always struggle to grow herbs outside where the sun’s too intense and humidity is around 10% during the summer (Colorado), but no more. I’m gonna bring them inside and give it a go! Wish me luck!
🤞
One year, I had so much basil in my yard, I needed to cut it down with the lawnmower because it was taking over my yard!
I bet it smelled good when cutting it
@@aaron-dd5zr haha it was overpowering!
I wish I had that problem! I love basil but hate spending money on it
Mmmm.... pesto lawn!😋
Pesto party
Came back from the grocery store to make a nice pasta with cherry tomatoes, butter, basil and garlic. This video shows up on RUclips. Google works in mysterious ways...
Mysterious ways?!! 🤔 ..more like Google tracking ur a$$. 😂😂
Google knows more about you than you know about yourself. The only way to avoid that is to leave your phone at home, pay with cash ALWAYS, and never speak within earshot of any of your devices.
@@thedesistandexactly what I was thinking
@@burghbrat3319Thank you! Noted
Yeah I literally just made homemade pesto, nothing mysterious when meta and google spend billions on brain wave reading devices..
Superb. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Thanks. The issue with Basil is it's very sensitive to cool temperature, so it is better to grow it indoors even during the summer.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you propagate the Basil plant 🪴. And I really think that it’s such a great idea and the new plants you create could be given away to friends and family. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags. Rosemary is very easy to grow this way too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Plant nurseries DON'T want you to know this secret! 👉 ruclips.net/video/i0plN7vEINA/видео.html
Thank s again. This time im watching to make sure I do it right. wish me a green thumb.
Maybe instead of another bonsai tree this will be my next project. Thanks!!!
This was just what I was looking for. Awesome video and love your channel 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you 😊😊
Great video. Basil is my favourite herb, but very delicate to grow. Thanks for these tips! . Looks like my greenhouse will get some use this summer after all. 😊
Oh my God it's so great and simple, thanks a million.
You bet!
Thank you!
We love cooking with basil. As a nice bonus, basil is a good natural bee repelant, so it can be planted strategical places in the garden. I can confirm this. When having basil indoor, keep in mind that banana flies LOVES the smell of basil as well as decomposing fruit.
Need to try this!
Music sounds fine now to me, just wanted to add that basil is really nice in salads as well . Especially mango and basil. 😊
Sounds interesting
Szechuan peppercorns bring mango and basil together amazingly!
Mmmmm … Taking it to another level! 😊
I will definitely try this propagation in water 😊
Well thank you so much for sharing that. We grow a lot of our own Basil but we will definitely follow your method from now on. In fact we will do it today. Once again thank you so much. Kind regards, Terry
You bet!
If you pinch off the topmost leaves, the cutting will put its energy into growing roots instead of getting taller... and then it will branch where you pinched it!
Brilliant 🎉 thank you ❤
thank you!
Infinite Basil glitch is CRAZY
Read a book about Audrey Hepburn that gave the recipe for her favorite quick lunch. A fresh tomato, fresh basil and Parmesan blend over hot pasta. I usually never have fresh basil. Won't be a problem anymore!
thank you
Great how to video thanks ..
Cheers!
I really appreciate this information, because I love to make pesto, and that takes so much basil.
I know right!
Nice clear instruction. Thank you.
Thanks
I never knew😀thank you so much, Now I can start growing Basil properly🤗
I love your videos, thanks tor making such great content x

Thank you very much!! I really like the idea and your tube as well.
Is it work the same way with Mint 🌱 ?
literally gardening my dude
That's great to know! Delighted! Thank you SO much!
You bet!
Hydroponics 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 basil loves being grown with tomatoes too
Spot on
Ooo, good to know!
You can trim the bottom of the starter to fit the pot
Excellent Presentation...I lovVed it as you made youR lesson so easy to learn from!❤Shine On Fellow Gardener and HaVe a BleSSed LiFe!✌🤓🙏😇🌹🌞🌹☕🍵☕🎋
Thank you 😊
thanks, i had one that died down to 2 stems and i just clipped and put in water to save them. we'll see how they go in 2 wks.
I grow mine in petuza pon and they grow a treat
That's good
Flower boy will evolve
I’d use rainwater rather than tap water. Mine grow on a north facing cill but takes a little longer.
This is one way to do it. It's fun project. But I always just transplant the whole thing (all the planta) in bigger pot. We have so much basil it is impossible to use.
in my experience, clear glass works better for propagation than coloured glass. For some reason the roots won't grow unless the stem gets the right amount, or kind of light.
Also, my greenest and most vibrant basil last year was grown hydroponically, or at least using hydropinic liquid fertiliser with an NPK of roughly 4-0.5-3 (though I think it would be even better if the proportion of potassium were even lower still...) having lots of nitrogen keeps them from flowering or becoming too "woody", by then it also tastes bad.
Let's Grow 🌱my dudes
Love the video...I'm on my way to mini expert..lol
Great!
I have never had any luck growing basil. It really frustrates me because I love it for cooking. I am going to try this method, thank you.
You’ve got this ✊
Don't use tap water , it will kill it , use rain water
Keep it out of the direct sun ? Might help
I think the best is to get a big one for $15 at a garden center and then it’s “too big to fail”. This just creates a lot of dead plants. ❤
omori refernce 😍
My attempt to pot store lettuce and celery had this effect: the new shoots cannabalized the existing scrap but did not root. Lettuce in dirt thus died and I just "saved" (?) the celery and am trying to root it in water and some Aerogarden secret sauce to kill the mush around it (it's anti-fungal - not self-proclaimed but acts that way, trust me). But the basic growth is beautiful. I should have rooted it in water from the start. Did not. Onions don't care. But these did. Should have washed off the chemical inhibitors too. Will see. Bought a second small aero garden because I know that works especially for supergreens.
I’ve done that fifty years ago.
Can you please do a video on making unlimited Brasil?
Super video! Thank you for that! But...who are they? Why do they want that I fail at plant nursery?
I do this with different herbs, every summer. Just not from the supermarket. From the producers on the greenmarket.
I presume you mean 'summer'.
@@pipster1891 yes, thank you 😅. I corrected the typo.
Going to try growing a source of Royal Thai basil this year after finding seeds; will keep this in mind after they're plants to increase the amount we have.
We've NEVER had supermarket purchased basil start wilting and dying before it got used up in cooking. But the containers it's sold in here look like they're about twice the size of what you're showing, maybe three times as much. They do have lots and lots of stems in them so I assume the roots are similarly packed.
A thought: if the complaint is that the supermarket potted basil wilts/dies before you can use it all, and this shows root development and healthy leaves two weeks later... couldn't you also do this to extend the health of the shoots long enough to when you need them for your culinary endeavors?
Thanks for the informative video!
Thanks for watching 😁
thank you - your tips are awesome and empowering - what if you have mostly northern'ish light inside? thank you again
My pleasure 😊
I propagate grocery bought green onions
I’ve been doing this for years with a basil plant I started from one seed. 😂
This works as well with mint btw
Cool thanks 👍
Very informative 👏 can you propagate parsley?
Thanks Gloriana. I’ve not tried parsley. Not sure it would last long enough to be honest
You can also simply divide the plant into three or four parts and plant these in again into separate pots and they will grow perfectly because they have got space again.
Yes, he has another video doing just that. 😊
The only pearlite I know is a carbon steel grain structure.
Hello and thanks for this amazing info!
Does basil accept acidic soil, like the one for some kind of flowers?
Not looked into that
This is a very helpful video thank you so much for making it. Can this also be done with parsley and coriander?😊
Not so much with them. Mint yes
BRAH! ALDI HAS FRESH BAGS FOR 52P! Or I could spend 40 quid on pots and soil and wait three weeks! 😮
I just tried this with 4 stems in a glass of water on a south facing window, and after 2 days all 4 stems have wilted. Any suggestions for why this would happen? Thanks!
Could be the health of the stems to begin with or maybe it was too much hot sun
@@SheffieldMadePlants I think it was probably too much sun. I will try again and place them set back from the window.
Nice video! Can you keep the basil growing in the water rather than move to soil?
Yep they’ll continue to grow in water. You’ll need to fertilise sometimes
@@SheffieldMadePlants thanks for the advice 😊👍
I have limited space. Do you get good results with 1 big pot with 2 or 3 plants in it? Also. which is better: eternal propagation or let 1 plant go to seed and start over? (I'm having to switch to container and indoor gardening and your channel has been a real blessing. Thanks!)
You can prob get away with 2 or 3. They’ll eventually go to seed anyway I think
Can you do this with thyme as well? Thank you for this info!
Not tried it with thyme but should be possible
No more strikes 🤪🤪🤪👀 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
👍 - thank you!
Love it ❤
Does that work with other supermarket herbs as well? Coriander, parsley etc ?
Mint and thyme sure. Parlsey and coriander probably not
Thank you for this tip.
Do you know why it goes woody when planted in the garden?
Isn't that just age?
@@SheffieldMadePlants Possibly. I'll do some more cuttings and have another go at putting them outdoors when they are ready. Thank you for your reply to my comment.
Sounds nice, but here in North they just don't get enough light to survive the winter months (Oct-Mar).
I've had great success with "halo" type grow lights.
Can you do the same with other supermarket herbs? Thanks for the info 😊
The larger leafed ones yes
Thank you 😉
