My scarlet sage are about to die

17 years ago

I have these two plants that I grew from seed in Nov. and they are now wilting and I cant seem to revive them. They have been in the plant room under plant light but I had to move them out for space and I had to lower the lights down to the flatt and seedlings and Im sure they are reacting to that but dont know what else to do with them. They are getting plenty of light in my patio door window , but it is a little cooler in there.

This is salvia splendens, not coccinea, right? Do you have a desk lamp or something else with a fluorescent bulb that you could put it next to? I have some plants that are languishing from lack of light, too, and I am just hoping they can hold on until I can put them outside part of the day.
