Most don’t know. How to grow basil from cuttings in hanging plastic bottles

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Within 7–10 days, roots should begin to form.
You’ll notice new leaf growth in 2–3 weeks.
8. Prune for Bushiness
Once the cuttings have established, pinch off the top leaves to encourage branching.
The fuller you want it, the more frequently you should prune the top growth.
9. Harvest Strategically
Begin light harvesting when plants are 5–6 inches tall.
Always snip above a node to allow for quick regrowth.
Continue watering and rotating the bottle for even sun exposure.
