QuickTip: How to care for shop-bought basil plants

Besides making recipe videos we also want to make short videos about common problems in the kitchen. Obviously one of the main reasons why we make our videos is to share our experiences and to help fellow foodies and passionate cooks. 

This video features the common problem of looking after shop-bought basil plants properly. They're available everywhere and are great for garnishing dishes, they're not always in good shape but if you get a decent plant you should be able to keep it for 1-2 months. Funny enough, so many people we know always tell us that their plants only last for a few days or a week, and also the description and use-by date on the plants often say that they only last for a couple of weeks. But our experience with shop-bought basil plants has always been rather different, sometimes you can get the odd bug or virus on a plant and they won't keep long, but otherwise we find that our plants last for a really long time. 

Our video will guide you through our tips of how to keep your plants happy and productive and hopefully you will never again feel the disappointment of a dwindling rotting basil plant in your kitchen!

Thanks for watching!
