Basil plant, almost 9 weeks old.

What is this? This is the first time I have grown the basil this big. Is this a stem rot? The balance of the plant has declined. It is leaning on my balcony railing.

    Roots, sometimes they form up higher when the moisture is wicked upward.

    Looks like roots to me. The brown above it just looks like past damage from the clay balls most likely. Basil stems will eventually get woody as it matures. I use garden wire wrapped around the stem on 2-3 sides to secure it to the bucket when it starts to get a little top heavy.

    Air roots. Usually happens when it’s had a lot of water and need some co2.
