My plants have barely just sprouted and are already dying. What can I do to save them?

Question

They're various plants I've planted indoors - watermelon, lettuce, tomatoes...The plants are turning yellow-white and some of them are starting to wilt. Are they overheated or overwatered or something else completely different?

Answer 1

you my have put to much water if they are turnning yellow.you can try putting them out in the sun for a bit.

maybe give them some plant food epsome salt is a good cheap plant food .i use it in my chili pepper garden.It works!for me any way.

Answer 2

For a little sprout, they do not need much water or direct sun. Do you see any white on the soil? If so, a fungus has taken over. If you are a warm area in the USA you can just start these outside with better results at this time of year. Try relocating them for a bit to a less direct sunny area. If you touch the soil and it is very wet, you have over watered. If damp, they still can be over watered. A baby sprout is very delicate.

Good luck!

Answer 3

You cannot grow vegetables in a basement without using hydroponic grow lights.  They need direct sunlight.

Either buy a grow lamp with a full spectrum light, or choose something that you can grow in a basement that doesn't require light...like mushrooms.
