Hi! I have recently found some lumps on my basil stem and was wondering if I should be concerened. From what I’ve heard online, it may just be roots attempting to form, but I just wanted to be sure that it isn’t bad for the basil, thanks!
You’re right, it is root nodules. These appear when there’s the proper humidity and basil thinks it can get more water from the surrounding air. It’s harmless, and a way to propagate basil from the stem.
This occasionally happens with our smart garden basils too.
