Basil guidance
Hello gardening reddit,
I am new to gardening and in need of help for my poor basil plant.
About a year ago I was living in Florida and decided to try parenting a basil plant (first picture). With the guidance of YouTube I was able to keep it alive and somewhat healthy. When I decided to move away I tried my hand at propagating. I had about 6 plants that were able to start growing inside over the fall and winter months. Over the winter I made pesto with some of the leaves and ever since the plant has struggled to bounce back. I’ve noticed the leaves appear to be super light in color and taking a weird shape. This last week I have been able to move the plant outside so it can hopefully get some more sun and flourish like it did in the tropical heat.
I googled and wasn’t able to find many answers so I thought I would ask the professionals (you). Do you think I have the pot over crowded with plants? Did I harvest too much at once? What’s the prognosis for my poor baby, and what can I do to help it?
Thank you in advance!
