In this video I explain how to restore a dying Basil plant. Without repotting and feeding most store bought basil plants will slowly deteriorate and won't live much longer than six months. However if a basil plant is transferred to a larger pot, kept well fed and is put in a warm sunny windowsill they will very quickly grow into a large plant which will provide lots of heathy leaves for many months.
