Drying of young leaves - Ocimum Sanctum (Holy Basi

[sunyac]

Hello all,

please, can you advise me on this problem with drying of young little leaves of Ocimum Sanctum?

Is it a lack of some chemical element in the soil?

I feed the plant with universal fertilizer (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide) plus ligud iron.

Older leaves and new sprouts at the ends of the branches are OK, but the problem is mainly with new leaves on the branches inside the plant and near the stem.

Thank you very much for any help.

If you crush them, are they fragrant?

Looks like they may be just shade leaves that are drying up because they are of less benefit to the plant. Many plants do that.
