“Basil”cally! 😂 That was actually funny and made me laugh while watching the video. Comedic gold

Please don't apologize for lack of make-up! You're more lovely without it - and 100% organic!
Down bad
What if it's organic makeup?
Bella, bellísima!🙏🏽💜🕺🏽💃🏽🌹

Girl, you have great skin you don’t need makeup!!
Thanks for the vid, super duper helpful!!
Haha thank you!! Glad you found it helpful 🥰
Second and best video on growing basil I've seen. You literally answered all my basil questions that I've had and would have thought about later I'm sure. Thank you for the valuable info pack, love it like I love basil! :)
Yaaaay, glad to hear it! May all your dishes be covered in basil like mine 😎
Thank you so much for spreading your wisdom!! Let's see how it goes with my first basil plant ever!
I hav learned that basil plants like to root themselves very deep. So deep pots would be ideal even for small plants. Just a little tippy tip.♡ i hav moved onto experiementing with outdoor gardening for my basil planys cuz i kinda sorta gave up searching for the right pot.
Thank you for your help!
It's really nice of you to take time out of your day to hep people grow little plant friends in their home!
Thank you for your kind words 😊❤️
Omg !! Great video I haven't been able to recover my basil plants , I can't wait to try this 😀 thank you so much !!!!!
Thanks for this! Trying again with your tips. Love fresh Basil!
Thank you for all the great info! You are a green thumb and a natural teacher.
So nice of you, thanks!
This is all I ever needed to know! Perfect video on basil, thanks!
I have found roots grow anywhere on the stem also so I just cut to size glad someone else made the same observation. Good luck!
Wow, sure wish I'd found you sooner, after all the basil plants that I've been killing over the years 😆. But thanks to you, I suddenly feel as though I am in charge of my newest basil plant and know exactly what to do, especially about pruning and propagating and how to correctly harvest it for use. Thank you so much for such an informative and incredibly useful video. Maybe I can have fresh basil all year long, too! 🥰😋
Glad you found it helpful, happy planting!!
It makes me super happy that you mentioned only having 30 subscribers and then an ad pops up a while later. You've grown so much! Well done and epic video. :)
Thanks for the tips. Your personality is awesome!
Thank you for going over in one video, everything I could think of !
Thanks for watching 😻💕

Great video, learned alot. Keep up the great work and like the touch of humor. Basil is a favorite even makes the room smell nice along with Rosemary and Lemon Balm and Thyme.

I love this video. I learned plenty. Thank you!
Thank YOU! 😚
WONDERFUL!!! i really appreciate this video 😮 thank you.
Thanks for the nice comment! ❤️
Your video was so helpful and well detailed. I bought my first basil plant last week from Trader Joe’s and was disheartened. Will try my luck again soon!
I just got a basil plant from Trader Joe’s this afternoon! This video is going to be so helpful in keeping my basil blooming.
I inherited my dad’s gangrene thumb, and have killed cacti and succulents. So wish me luck in the basil.
Thanks so much! what a well done video!
Thank you for watching!!
Beautiful without makeup & it’s my 1st time watching you! ❤
I put basel in a lot of foods i probably shouldn't, I love having it fresh and around, im praying that this new plant i got stays alive!
Thank you for this video 😊
Thank you so much!! Your video covered nearly everything I wanted and needed to know and is the best source that I've found on this topic. Great job! By the way, you have beautiful skin, so you don't need makeup to look gorgeous! Show that off more often instead of covering it up! 😊
awesome video, very thorough
Awesome Video / Thank you!
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
I honestly had no idea I could just clip a stem and propagate the basil like that!! Thank you!!
Yeah! Plants are the best 😊 Happy basil growing!
@@SirPlantsaLot thanks I’m trying it! We’ll see how it goes. How long does it usually take before you start seeing some roots?
You DO NOT need makeup! You’re perfect as is! Thanks for the tutorial
I’ve only bought basil from the supermarket and they have all died so this video is perfect for me! Thanks for sharing your trials and errors, I’m sure it will help me keep my basil alive.
Love this! Had no idea you could propagate basil without root growth hormone! Thanks so much for the video, it was really entertaining and informative 🥰
Oh yeah, you can propagate most plants without a rooting hormone! The hormone’s just supposed to make it quicker 🙂 glad you liked the video!! ❤️
TQ 🙏🙏🙏 for d knowledge sharing ❤❤❤
New subscriber. Love this video! Never seen you with makeup, but, girl, you don’t need any! In my younger days (I’m 67 and not looking to attract anyone), if I didn’t wear makeup, people asked if I was ok, because I looked sick. You definitely do not have that problem.
great video!
Thank you young lady, I enjoyed that little video, informative and down to earth,( no pun intended).
Hahaha glad you enjoyed it!
I really don't need to know about basil, just watched video cuz of the way she explains :D
Loved ur energy, keep going :)

@@SirPlantsaLot well, BASICLY, (ehehehe) u rock at it. It would be awesome if you could make a video about shop bought rosemary :D

Wow great video
Thanks for watching!!
i recently bought basil plants and i see them droopy and dehydrated. since it's my first time taking care of it, i am grateful for the tips! i think they lack water and maybe a little far from the sun. i should replace the pot too! thank you again!
Happy growing! 😊
Yep I bought mine from Trader Joe’s yesterday, having the same issue at the moment
9:45 pro tip, thanks!
basilcally love it.
🌝🌝
Very nice
I grow tomatoes and I know that Basil is more difficult, but pair well together!
Thank you for this video!! I just got some basil to grow and had no idea what to do with it 😂 And I love the realness of the no makeup look! You’re beautiful inside and out ❤
All the store bought basil plants I've bought in Sydney have died very quickly ie a few days. I'll try dividing and replanting. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips. You've got quite a green thumb. 👍 🍃
Really really really informative and super usefull methods and tips
Thank you a lot. I divided and repotted my basil and mint today (fingers crossed)
Loved your Style of making the video and explanation. As fresh as those lovely basilplants!, Basilcally!
Haha glad you found it useful!
I would just like to add that I use filtered water as I have noticed it makes a huge difference versus using tap water.
Thank you. I was going to ask. What about temp? Cold, warm, or room temp?
@@HeronCoyote1234 I have never used warm water. I use bottled room temp water when I am pressed for time or bottled cold water. I also use room temp or cold filtered water as well. I have never used warm filtered water or warmed up bottled water. I hope this helps.
@@gowiththeflo8742 yes, thank you!
@@HeronCoyote1234 You're welcome 🦋
Thank you
Thanks for watching! 🌝❤️
Weeks before I watched your video, I had bought a grocery store plant. I knew they loved moisture and watered it a day or two later, and then it almost immediately died. Do you think it's because it could not drain properly? If the leaves are wilting indicating it needs watering, how do I know how much water to add? How deep does the soil need to be moist? You answered every single question I had except with watering. I'm afraid and unsure because of my previous experience. Could you please give me a little more detail on watering the plant and how to avoid overwatering? I'm keeping the plant inside and it's still in the grocery store container for another couple of days until I can get supplies. Thank you in advance if you're able to help with a little more detail!
This is my first time having a plant I my apartment.. how often do we need to fertilize it and what kind of it .. thank you in advance 😊😊😊
Nice info, pretty girl!😊
Honestly didn’t even know you had on makeup or not. I thought you were gonna say you were tired and didn’t feel like trying too hard which is also reasonable on a Sunday night. You have great skin regardless!
you look pretty even without makeup. Love your blue eyes!
Ive done this. But im getting many tiny flies on my basil. how do i remove them? great content here!
You dont need makeup! You're gorgeous!
You look just fine without makeup!
You look great. I just bought basil and it’s a plant. I don’t know how to keep it. I tried before to keep it alive before and it died! I don’t want to die
I do basil from seeds because I prefer cinnamon or Thai basil and I can't find those varieties as plants. It's really easy and cheaper to do from seeds. You can even let some of them go to seed, and they make lots of seeds. I haven't cloned basil yet, but it's my preferred way of doing tomatoes. You actually DON'T want to soak tomatoes- just cut, stick in potting mix directly and water. They just have to be an indeterminate variety, not a determinate(patio tomato).
👌
“Sorry for not having makeup.”
I have to say that you don’t even need makeup, you look amazing.
❤
Hi! How much water do you use when you water your basil plants?
Amazing vid! Thank you!
How long do you keep the basil in the water when propagating it before moving it to soil?
Hello Daniel, glad you like the video! I usually wait until the root ball is proportionate to the size of the plant, this usually takes about 2-3 weeks 😎
@@SirPlantsaLot I feel like that's where I am going wrong! Genius!
How often do you change the water for that 3 weeks?

Saying the girl who doesn’t need any makeup at all 😍
Stop it you 🌝❤️
How many days does it take for roots to start growing in the water
thank you i am growing basil and your info is so good. but i couldnt keep my eyes off your beautiful blue eyes.
Can u cook with that as soon as u buy it
These smooth talkin gardeners here
I just bought my first basil plant at Whole Foods. Trying to figure out how to keep it alive, and how to use its leaves in cooking. Thanks for the info. BTW- I can't place your accent, but its delightful. Where are you from?
Thanks for watching! I’m from the Czech Republic 🤓
