It's true that a short time video is good, but lots of important details were left out, watering the plant, sun or shade, away from other plants, pesticide attacks, when you pruned plants they suffer so you need to know what to do, it's not that simple.

@@NC-qc7wd Because this is a pruning video, not an after-pruning care video. It is that simple.

Yeah, and she wasn't trying to sell anything which is a nice change.

Exactly!

This comment is EXACTLY how I feel as well! Nicely done and as you said, "time to subscribe"!! :)

Agreed. Ditto. Just found. Glad I did. Subscribed. 🌺

Thank you! Exactly. I don’t want to know about how your oldest child tripped in a field of basil or whatever.

YES, I agree! I just asked her the same question, if she could do more herb videos. Very helpful.

Dill...I would love to know the proper way to trim or harvest dill!

Rosemary is easy, best to prune right before the growing season, and take five inches off any leads, grows like a beast,

I would love to see this. I’ve been gardening for years but believe it or not, have NEVER grown any herbs other than mint and I grew those to simply cover a patch of bare land, not for food.

Yes I would also!

I didn't either and every year my basil looks horrible. I almost didn't buy any this year but glad I did, I just went out and trimmed it!

I have a feeling this is why my basil has died TWICE. Next time I will make sure to prune it when necessary!

Hello everyone. Since basil is found at every household in India, I would like to suggest ways to get a healthy growth of plant. 1) add 20-25% old cowdung compost or vermi compost while preparing soil. Garden soil must be 40% and rest any kind of fine sand (either river or construction). 2) add 1 TSP of Epsom salt every month after the plant grows to 1 feet height and develops strong roots. 3) add few grains of DAP only once or twice a year (optional). 4) cut the seed holders whenever you see them growing on its top. 5) Water only when the top soil becomes dry, that too in 2-3 days. Though misting the leaves and stems helps in good growth. 6) keep the plant whole day in the sun once the plant grows to suitable size.

I was always told to prune by taking individual leaves (the biggest) and snip it off at the stem. I usually snip 5-10 leaves at a time. I’m wondering if this is ok for when you want to use it for an individual dish but do the full pruning 1x/week (I believe that’s what she said) for growth and health? I’m kind of confused.

Alma Castro I'm so glad that our video will be helpful to you and your new basil plant! Basil is one of my favorites!!! ~Laura

👍

Ejj

You're not alone! I just discovered her channel this morning and I'm going to binge watch her videos!

Same here!

Make sure it has lots of light. And do not overwater. Most herbs like to be on the dry side. Indoors you won’t have the same light, therefore it will need less water. Plant light for extra light?

***** Thanks for watching, Jules! I can't believe I did the thumbs down instead of thumbs up! Haha! Oh well! ;) It probably won't be the last time... ~Laura

Lol....looks like you were trying to say, "give a thumbs up down below"...or something like that....but you always deserve a thumbs up girl!!😉

Thanks I was just wondering how today . Thank you.

She does!

Maybe get an AeroGarden.

Marijuana is an herb 😗

good idea!

Because there are literally people who dislike videos just to be asses, sadly.

The info might be too much to grasp for some.

KZfaq has bots that do it, depends on an algorythm. Nothing personal but ALL videos get disliked.

Being from Britain I did find the way she says basil a bit annoying. But not enough to dislike it🙂

Because she asked for it. 5:22

Be careful not to prune too close to the leaves you are leaving.

i smoke basil it is weird?

Coriander aka Cilantro, I don't think pruning applies to this. You just keep harvesting each stalk of cilantro down to the roots.... I think. I've never had much luck with this plant.

Kenneth Woolard even when they are flowering?! :D

Not while they ré flowering

1. Best to not let it flower. If you do you can cut the stem pretty far down and throw that which you cut away. It won’t taste good. Since each stalk is a separate plant, it should not affect the other stalks, unless of course they have flowered too 2. Harvesting is the same as pruning . You can take a little or a lot. Just try to sever the stem a bit above the leaves you will be leaving.

You cant prune coriander. Thats a spice XD. Coriander is cilantro before sprouting, or cilantro seeds. NOt trying to be mean, i was just confused XD

Lynni M. Actually, all of the UK, Europe, Asia, and even Martha Stewart, always use the word corriander for cilantro.

Lynni is right, you can't prune coriander... but what you can do - start a new batch of seeds every few weeks. So, when one batch grows, flowers and turns to seed, you have another one ready and waiting to use as an herb.

Hi Christina how are you doing today hope you're having a wonderful time

So cute!!! Thanks!!

Yes the look is distracting. I had to rewatch to learn about the basil tips.

Could be soil, water, or light. They should still grow even in a small pot. Try reporting with Miracle Grow potting soil that has added fertilizer. Don’t overfertilize as herbs don’t like it
