These basil plants have been thriving steadily better and better since being transplanted as sprouts. However every one of this group of 8 in the end of a planter is exhibiting a wilted leaf, and it's always the lowest one. What's going on here? Should I snip off these wilted leaves?

Basil more or less thriving Lowest leaf wilted on all my basil plants.

Yes, those are just the oldest leaves and I'd just snip them off...otherwise, they look very healthy!

  • Leaves age and go out of production, they kind of clog internally, wither and drop off normally. Removing them just gets them off the plant before they can become diseased. – Fiasco Labs May 20 '14 at 23:01
