So herbs are a little different than houseplants, but I’ve put mine into this little greenhouse and planted them to hide them from the cat. For whatever reason, they are both drooping and have yellow leaves (which indicates underwatering) but are also developing fuzzy mildew (which suggests overwatering). I have a grow light over the greenhouse and leave it open for ventilation, and it also has natural vents at the top. I’m a bit new to the herb game… any advice here?

Drooping and yellow leaves are usually a sign of overwatering. Might be too hot and humid inside the greenhouse even if you have vents open on top. Remember herbs grow outside - they like airflow and direct sunlight.

Cacti like dry environment and a greenhouse tends to be humid. Suggest you put them on a high shelf close to sunlight. Good luck!

And the greenhouse could work.

There’s a drainage layer of pebbles and a soil screen on top of that! This is all great advice, thank you all so much

If you can put your herbs outside, that would be your best bet or get a grow light so they can get adequate lighting and dry out.

Last summer I grew basil and mint in full sun watering twice a day outside.

I have a grow light on it!!

Do you have a link to this greenhouse it's beautiful

Those who find happiness intrinsically, how do you do it? I’ve always sought things and people to be happy. I’ve been less happy after college and the pandemic doesn’t help. Growing up, our family constantly moved (3 continents, 4 countries) and it was always difficult to make friends. I can’t complain to people about this because then I sound like the privileged prick who gets to travel and lives a arguably good life. Sorry for the rant 😔

If like me you get defensive about these, tell yourself that (most) of it isnt anti-India, or hatred for India. It feels that way since our idea of India has become liked to 'Hindu'. Most are anti-Modi precisely because they love India. Just something that helps me think more rationally. Peace.
