Amazing basil life in a little pot

I had been always very reluctant in the past buying herbs in pots from supermarkets as they never survived the first harvest and even though i watered the bottom of the pot regularly, the plant would either drown or dry up.
But this little beauty is over 2 months old now and i pick handful of leaves every other day. And the more i pick, the more they grow back more luscious than before.
My little secret? It came to me as sort of inspiration as i was just about to throw my little basil pot away in the compost bin. When i sunbathe, i always carry my spray bottle with me to keep my skin moist and avoid sunburning, so i figured what if i apply the same principle to my basil? And so i did and i have been amazed since
Spray the leaves with a regular spay bottle fine very generously all around at least once a day - at least twice o more a day if hot.  Water the bottom every couple of days too just enough for the soil to drink up a bit at the time, keep it near a window with some daylight exposure and don't forget to say thank you thank you thank you when you eat the leaves.
