What to do when you first buy basil to make it last for months (Page 2 ) | May 18, 2025

This type of fungal disease that affects basil plants causes stunted growth, yellowing and falling leaves. The first symptoms of the problem are a slowdown in growth and hollow-looking leaves.

Unfortunately, finding a solution to fusarium wilt is almost impossible and it is always best to start from scratch, with a new plant, disinfecting both the pot and the entire place where the plant was placed.

The best weapon against fusarium wilt is prevention. Avoid water stagnation and water the soil without wetting the leaves.

Root rot
This is another of the main reasons why basil plants stop living. This disease is transmitted by water, therefore caused by inadequate irrigation or poorly drained soil. Let the soil dry out between waterings.

If the basil is in a pot, make sure the plant drains well after watering.

Leaf Spot
If your basil plant is starting to wilt and you notice brown spots on the leaves, it is probably a fungal disease that falls into the group of diseases known as “leaf spot”.

The first thing to do is to remove the diseased leaves. To prevent the disease, water the base of the plant and never spray water on the leaves. If the disease is not already in an advanced stage, the plant will recover with this simple precaution.
