Growing taller.
I cut off the rotted portion.
The roots has gone soft, and the stems/leaves rot when in touch with water.
The base fully rotted.
So far it always never roots and always rot. Next time I will plant in water until new leaves grow, then transplant to soil without waiting for roots to grow in water.
2 garlic cloves sprouting.
Bring out to the shaded balcony for some sun.
Spinaches grow soft and the stems/leaves easily rot. Either the heat or water killing it. Reduce water level and move to cooler place.
Smell of rot, move to cooler place.
