I Need to Stick This Basil in Some Dirt...Fast

Basil Rooting in a Vase on My Kitchen Counter

I Am Mesmerized by the Roots

Gravitropism displayed elegantly by the dense roots growing in a downward direction.

I pinched off the top leaves of my basil plant a few weeks ago to keep it from getting too leggy.  Into a vase with water to root.  Amazing what has happened in just a few weeks.  These are ready to plant.
