Is your herb struggling? Let’s sort it out.

Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place, and you probably haven’t killed it. Almost every herb problem is common, easy to identify, and fixable once you know what you’re looking at. Tell me what’s happening to your plant and I’ll point you straight to the guide that helps.

“What’s happening to your plant?”

  • Leaves turning yellow, wilting or drooping? Usually it’s a watering or soil issue — and more often too much water than too little. → Find the cause and fix it
  • 🪰 Tiny flies rising from the soil when you water? Those are fungus gnats — harmless to you, and easy to beat. → How to get rid of them
  • 🐛 Bugs, sticky leaves, or spots on the foliage? Let’s work out which pest or problem it is. → Herb Pests & Problems guide
  • 🌱 Pale, leggy, stretching toward the window? That’s usually not enough light — common indoors. → Growing herbs indoors with light
  • 🛒 A supermarket pot fading fast? Those are crammed and exhausted — here’s how to rescue and repot it. → Save your supermarket herb
