    Another hint - chlorine can be removed from tap water by leaving overnight in any container. The chorine readily evaporates off in 8 to 10 hours. I keep a quart mason jar of tap water in by cupboard for bread-making (yeast hates chorine) and for watering sensitive plants. Basil can be shocked if watered with water that is very cold, so this practice of letting water sit also allows it t come to room temperature.

    • @spir5102

      Keep in mind that not all states use chlorine. My state of Missouri uses chloramine, and you can’t get rid of the chloramine by letting it sit out overnight. But a small amount of vitamin C powder can get rid of the chloramine. To see what your state uses, look it up at your county’s water district office.

    This basil video was really packed with info. Thanks so much! I especially like at 2:48 where you say that one will get bigger basil leaves and happier basil plants if there is not too much sun. I had no idea about that. I just burned my basil plants under too-close grow lights, so I REALLY needed to know this!

  • @emilybh6255
    @emilybh6255 2 роки тому +56

    Thanks. I always thought that Basil was supposed to like sun but I'm finding, like you said that the locations with the least amount of sun have the most healthy basil plants. I also found that I could grow cilantro in our hot southern climate which gets into the 90s every day for a good 4-5 months of the year by exposing it only to early morning sun and keeping it mostly in the shade for the rest of the day which I was pleasantly surprised to discover was possible here. I'm going to try this with some new basil plants next spring.

It took us years to find the right place for basil to grow in our yard (in the desert where harsh sun is in abundance!). Actually, “we” didn’t find it, the basil serendipitously found it on its own!😆 A seed miraculously traveled across our driveway, who knows when because the plant itself was long gone,😳 and found its way to the perfect shady spot with morning sun, hallelujah finally LIFE!!!
