The basil plant from the supermarket dries up as soon as it arrives at home: there is a reason and it is good to act immediately.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to go into detail,  basil<\/strong>  is the most common plant in gardens, vegetable gardens and at home. Its heady fragrance gives it an extraordinary touch and its bright green color embellishes any environment. Often and willingly, the seedling bought at the supermarket appears very dry once it arrives at home. What happens to it along the way and why does it dry out? Nurserymen explain the causes of this  sudden change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basil, what care is needed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Basil  is an aromatic plant<\/strong>  that is never missing in Italian kitchens, the perfect symbol of Made in Italy in the world. Unique ingredient for culinary tradition, with its touch of fragrance and flavor that spreads in all types of dishes. The moment you buy a seedling from the supermarket, it will dry out once you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants  bought in a supermarket<\/strong>    \u2013 say industry experts \u2013 are designed to last a short time. A marketing strategy that leads the consumer to have to buy another one after a very short time. The nurserymen themselves invite consumers to purchase plants  and flowers from experts,<\/strong>  but suggest a few steps to recover the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Supermarket<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In fact, basil itself does not require specific care and is a plant that is suitable even for those who do not have a green thumb. The causes that lead to  radical change<\/strong>  should not be attributed to the consumer, but to a series of external factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dried supermarket basil: the causes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the  basil plant<\/strong>  is purchased from the supermarket, most of the time it tends to dry out once in the car or at home. It is likely that the plant has spent several days in direct contact with artificial light and with a correct and controlled temperature. The transition to natural light and a temperature range for the plant is not positive, which is why it tends to dry out and, in some cases, die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advice is to get her to recover from the shock, by trying to keep her at home near a window. The plant must have time to adapt to the new environment and  temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Basil<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also pay attention to watering, in fact the  soil must always be hydrated<\/strong>  . It is also possible that the seedlings have not been properly hydrated: once at home, you will need to give water alternately, so as to rehydrate them but not all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supermarket basil can also be transplanted into another pot, but it is important that the soil is fertile and not compacted. So you choose a  nitrogen-based fertilizer product<\/strong>  , even better if it is liquid. The plant can be recovered with small, simple actions, optimal for its rehabilitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
