I brought in a nice healthy potted Basil and an equally nice big and healthy potted oregano about a month ago. Both are starting to brown around the edges of the leaves. I have them under a plant light. The Rosemary I brought in is doing better than the oregano and basil, but it went through a quick shock period when it was brought indoors too. I'm hoping that by trimming and deadheading my oregano and basil it will come back, but am concerned. Don't know what else to do, so I'm going to watch and see if any experts answer us.

The gnat like insects could be adult fungus gnats, a sign that you are keeping your potting mix too moist, that there is not enough air circulation, that the mix doesn't drain rapidly enough, etc. The larvae of these gnats are small, worm-like critters, white/clear in color and thrive in the above conditions, sometimes feeding on the tender roots of our plants.

Every container grown plant, no matter what it is, needs a coarse, porous medium that drains quickly after a thorough watering.

I'd repot, and add a healthy percentage of perlite, pine bark fines, Turface, etc. Avoid things like real dirt from the garden, compost, sand, etc.>>
