thebeerpirate answered: Use a BIG pot, lots of sunshine and real careful with the water. You can save that sucker!

dougmacy answered: I haven’t found they do well in indoors. I’ve always done better keeping them outside and planting in the ground if possible.

r2witco answered: That pot looks a little small for the size of the plant. Maybe the roots don’t have enough room.

iansanity answered: Simple. Basil hates you. EOF.
