Basil Lemon

Le Basilic est du genre rapide à pousser, très vite il peut faire de l’ombre à ses voisines. N’hésitez pas à le tailler régulièrement pour éviter qu’il n’entrave la pousse de ses copines plus lentes. Une autre astuce consiste à remplir son pot de moitié pour qu’il soit artificiellement plus bas.

Have you pruned it properly? Basil hates having its leaves torn off one by one, leaving its stems bare. To get it right, refer to the video on your growth diary. Otherwise, it's normal for it to die after 4-5 months, as it's an annual plant.

Look closely at the stains: if they move, they're probably small bugs that you can scare away with a little black soap. If the stains don't move, you've probably burned your leaves by placing the light too close to them.
