Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my bouquet dill plants turning yellow and wilting from the bottom, and what can I do?
This pattern is often due to fungal damping-off or root rot, especially if the soil stays wet. Water only at the soil line, improve drainage, and remove any badly wilted plants; then let the top 1–2 in (2–5 cm) dry before watering again. If rot persists, switch to fresh, well-draining potting mix for new starts and avoid reusing the same bed soil.
How often should I water bouquet dill during the main growing period (around weeks 2–6)?
During active growth, keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy—aim for the top inch (2–3 cm) to dry slightly between waterings. In full sun, that usually means watering about 1–2 times per week depending on temperature, with deeper watering when you do irrigate. Too much moisture can trigger root problems and weak stems that can’t support the long frond heads.
