My wife bought fresh basil from Instacart and they delivered live basil instead. It's essentially a tiny basil plant equivalent to a pack of fresh basil. Well, she refused to eat this $4 herb and instead decided to let it live. It is now about to get repotted for a third time. This thing is massive with pretty little white flowers and thick branches. If you touch it, it releases a wonderful smell that fills the room. She named it Basil (bah-zill) the basil
That is very wholesome. Are you using some of its leaves for cooking, or are you just keeping it be and letting it grow like a regular houseplant?
