We started an indoor herb garden from seeds. Thyme, Basil, Cilantro and Parsley.This problem sounds like damp-off. This is a fungal disease which can be caused by several different organisms, but the most common ones are carried by water and attack seedlings at ground level. A ring of tissue is killed by these organisms at ground level and the plant can no longer transport anything in the stem and just keels over.
The Cilantro instructions said 21-25 days to germinate, we saw sprouts in 8, they took right off, now all of asudden at about 5 inches high they are falling over and dying. Why?
We use a mister to water.
The others have sprouted and are growing slowly, but seem to have stopped at about an inch tall.
They sit in front of a window, south view I believe.
Can you help us so they don't die?
