Hi everyone! Im just getting in to gardening and I have a lot of questions! Right now I'm worried about my basil!

a while back a bought one of the seedlings from the grocery store. There was more than one sprout in the pot and I managed to keep one alive. However I'm afraid I didn't treat him right! the leaves are tiny. Its very branchy and there are new flowers everyday! What did I do? can I fix it? how do I avoid it with other seedlings?
