Hello Everyone

I am growing basil for the first time. I picked a few sprigs several weeks ago and put them in a glass of water. They sent out roots and held up wonderfully for weeks. When I ate them weeks later, they were as fresh as the day I picked them. I was delighted with this! However, the next batch I picked wilted the by the end of the following day even though their stem ends were well submerged in water. And they never sent out roots. What would account for this difference?

Thank you
