# Hey guys :) I just started a little herb garden and I’m the worst…

Hey guys :) I just started a little herb garden and I’m the worst with plants (hopefully this app helps me not overwater)  
Sorry in advance if these are silly questions \<3  
First my rosemary just got repotted two days ago into a bigger pot as it was crowded and this is the only pot I had - it’s now feeling a little droopy and sad and not perky. Is it something I did? I didn’t drench it when I first repotted it because it was already watered at the nursery that day. I also read they like to be neglected and dry a bit so I’m thinking maybe I just let it adapt and try not to mother it so much? The soil is damp about a knuckle under the surface but the little guy looks thirsty :(  
The other question is my jalapeño plant is chilling on the balcony and it says it likes full sun. Is the Florida sun too hot because the leaves are getting a bit discolored on the tips? Should I move to partial shade until it’s adapted to being outside or will it toughen up or am I just overly concerned and nothing is even wrong?

drooping in most plants is caused by under watering but I don’t know much about herbs or jalapeños at all so I might be wrong. if you’ve read that rosemary prefers to be dryer then I would definitely back off but keep an eye on it. partial shade could be good for a little if its been inside otherwise it should be fine.

Thank you :))

of course! hopefully someone with more olericulture knowledge can help out!

Both should be in the full sun but I’m worried those pots are WAY too big for each plant.

#### Adri respondió el 2024-03-10

Oh how big should they be? I knew that both get to be big plants so I thought they would just fill out these pots

#### Chrissy respondió el 2024-03-10

The risk you run is root rot because the soil takes too long to dry up since it’s in a huge pot. If you had it in full direct summer sun it wouldn’t be too much of a problem but those aren’t the current conditions. I would scale it back to a much smaller pot for now. You can always transplant when it starts growing.
