@Kenough, Thank you so much 🙏 You saw very well, the stem is completely brown.. I will try to save his sister, even if I remain pessimistic. I wouldn't give up, and I just relaunched 2 seeds for an upcoming diary. I don't know if I'm using atami kilomix soil again. It is of high quality without a doubt, but it packs down a lot and it retains moisture so much that it is almost unsettling for a beginner 🤔 I will inquire about the combitester, many thanks for the advice! I will follow your diary carefully. I'm sure you will do wonders.

Sorry to hear about it 😔 They just started to get better and now this. I spent some time looking around if there's something similar to this online and found pretty much nothing. The best I can tell is that it might be dampening off, on your "3 September. Time to say bye" picture the stem appears to be completely brown for 2-3cm off the ground. To me, this makes no sense since you have good fabric pots and lots of perlite that should in theory provide more than enough oxygen and drainage. Don't get discouraged, even seasoned gardeners started with wilted leaves and yellowing plants. It's all part of the learning process. What helped me get the guesswork out of watering is the TFA Dostmann Combitester, which is usually around 10-15€ and well worth it. Hope to see more diaries in the future!
