Basil stem turning brown?
12 years ago
It's my first time growing basil and I've noticed that my stem is slowly turning brown. Strangely, it's started from the top of the stem and has gradually worked its way down. The rest of the plant seems healthy. Does anyone know why this is happening and if it's normal?
