Hello ,

i found this weird looking plant that is living on my basil , it is holding my basil plants together so tight , and i risk to lose them, can anyone help as in how to get rid of this unknown plant ?

Thanks

It looks like a parasitic plant called dodder
best to pull from the base (roots ) and get rid of it before you have a problem.

I had some a few years back and found it a very interesting plant to read about

Oh I forgot to mention if you can not find where this plant has roots IT is now sucking the life from your basil
remove it all quickly and carefully
good luck

Agreed. I have wild morning glories that strangle my plants, just like the dodder. Find the lowest possible strands close to the ground, and break, cut, clip carefully. Deprived of their roots, the tops will dry. Sometimes I spend time uncoiling the upper vines from my plants. If you clip the basil, it will keep on growing, what you clipped can be rooted in clean water, or used.
