Chia pet question?

Question

This may seem silly, but I got one of those Chia herb gardens last Christmas. My husband is good with plants, but 3 out of 4 have died. I still have a little basil plant going.

So if you've ever tried to grow Chia plants, how long do they last? I'd love to have basil by winter.

Answer 1

they can last years, make sure your basil has good light, not left to dry out too much. Add a good fruit and vegtable food to the water once a month, I had chives and cilantro for over 4 years from a chia..I did re-pot them the 3rd year, they needed soil to keep growing! Finally put them outside..and moved soon after.
