It dies cause its an type of basil that is not sustaining itself, it on purpose not regrow good. Grow basil from normal seeds. Then the basil form flowers that produce more seeds and spread in the sourounding. Also the usual type of basil grow much higher. It will grow more basil than you can use basil spread sool fast. Of course they not sell this in the plant pots in super market cause customers will rebuy less.

I had a crowded basil plant I got from trader Joe's. The young lady in the store told me to divide it into smaller pots and I did. I ended up with eight plants that grew so wild, and out of control. I gave away four of them. One died because it fell on the floor and I didn't see it there. The only thing I have to say is the basil plants I have left love water so I have to be mindful to water them every day. The fragrance, out of this world. They taste equally excellent.. Give it a try.

nah, thats super pissed as French to being forced to use English as the de facto 'lingua franca' so we're gonna make a statement by going extra hard on the accent despite having a really good school system and none of the chicken/egg educational challenges facing Spaniards or Italians who would kill to improve on their English and see a much too thick accent as stigma. But surely the babes gonna love it : ) Fun fact, in Germany there's this collective rat race going on about who's gonna have the most audible American or Bri-ish accent. This includes coming up with imaginary hybrid accents (think Lena at Eurovision) which takes up way too much mental bandwidth often at the cost of the things actually said. Ergo, a nations history (and geography/size of media market, like when there's no dubbing of EN films) really plays a major role in how it's people approach English. Luckily Netflix will help remedy this over time.

Ever since having worked at an actual plant nursery where the people there knew what they were doing, I just can’t bring myself to buy much at big box stores. ESPECIALLY the grocery store, because half the time these plants are just so sad and abused. Or they can go into shock if you move them outside after taking them home. Just not worth it. Any instance you can, ✨always support your local nurseries✨

It's also because supermarket basil is grown in ideal greenhouse conditions and absolutely pumped with liquid fertiliser and we can't recreate those conditions at home. My supermarket basil isn't crowded with heaps of plants, and they still die despite being clipped back, fed, etc.

Also, the plants are so tender and leggy that once you take them out of the sleeve they collapse. Home grown plants will be stronger. So many reasons why the supermarket ones die.
