My basil is drooping.. help
    #6056765 -

I recently bought and transplanted a small Basil plant. It was OK for the first few days but for the past few days it's been drooping worse and worse. At first I thought I was overwatering but now I checked and soil is very dry so I just watered it. I am giving it heat (growing it indoors) and some days I put it out in the sun, but mainly it's under 4 fluorescents. How can I save my basil? HELP!

I would assume move it to a larger pot, and because its in a pot, the root system has nowhere to go. check for slight yellowing in the botton leaves. this is an indicator of root asphyxiation.

also, since it is in a pot, nutrients are limited and fertilization with waterings is recomended.


hope that helped.

I actually would give it more light.
My experiences with basil outdoors is that they prefer a few hours of early day sun each day. They don't do very well in full shade.
:peace:
