Growing with poor drainage


Hi all,

Ive been trying to grow wild flower and basil seeds in these little glass jars I have (different jars). I definitely overwatered on my first try so I have been very frugal with this set, and they seemed to be growing well for a few weeks! Several healty shoots that could support themselves

But then over the course of 2 nights, they got very droopy and wilted as pictured. I suspect not enough sunlight (indoor by a window) or perhaps overwatering since I left them to a neighbour and she flooded em a bit (2 weeks ago now, but I drained em as best I could).

Any suggestions on what caused this? Or in general, tips for growing in this kind of poor drainage environment?

    Plant pots need drainage, for the vast majority of plants. There isn’t really a way round this.
