Watering Basil
When watering the plant, do not water the leaves but only the base of the plant as the leaves are easy to damage and do not need water themselves. Water as needed, everyday or every other day, to ensure the soil is moist but not damp.
If you forget to water your basil plant for a few days and it begins to wilt, you may be able to recover the plant by watering and waiting an hour as shown in the video above.
