herbs in window farm
10:53 am in Seeking Advice by Anna Carlson
I am trying to grow herbs in my windowfarm. I bought the fresh herbs in a shop and replanted them into my windowfarm.
The plants are still alive, however some of the leaves on the plants have died, especially the basil does not look to good. I checked the pH and it was about 7 so I am trying to lower it, hopefully this will fix the problem.
Are other people having problems with the leaves on their plants dying?
I don’t know what kind of shop you bought your herbs in but many of the “live” herbs available in groceries cannot be transplanted even to a hydroponic set up . they don’t like dirt and are raised
on very secret formulas if originally grown by hydroponics.
You may have to start your own sorry

It’s great to watch them grow from seed anyway… very rewarding. Also many plants suffer from ‘transplant shock’ when you re-pot them as the roots are disturbed/ripped. I’m sure they will pick up and in time grow larger than they would have done otherwise!
