The attitude towards greens grown on the windowsill should be the same as towards any other vegetable crop.
Dill or parsley may also lack nutrition, light or basic moisture. We will tell you what mistakes ruin seedlings at the root.
1. Lack of drainage
Drainage at the bottom of the pot or container is a must, otherwise stagnant moisture will lead to root rot, mold, and other bad consequences.
2. Air temperature
Everything should be harmonious: if the room is warm, then the plants should have enough light. If there is not enough light, you need to lower the temperature, otherwise the greenery will stretch out and will be tasteless at best.
3. Abundant watering
Greens do not consume as much moisture as it seems. Especially on a windowsill. Abundant watering, even with drainage, will provoke stagnation of moisture, followed by mold and fungal diseases.
4. Lack of moisture
If the soil dries out, the shoots will react immediately. If these are young shoots, they can dry out very quickly.
5. Air humidity
Usually, seedlings grow on a windowsill, under which there is a radiator. The radiator dries the air, which also has a negative effect on seedlings and other indoor crops.
6. Top dressing
For these unpretentious crops, it is enough to add liquid vermicompost once every 2 weeks.
If you follow all these conditions, growing juicy and aromatic greens will not be difficult.
