Basil brown edges of leaves and dying. Hi, I grow a lot of basil indoors in my office in Ireland. I had one plant and I have grown many more from cuttings. Recently, the basil has started dying.

I have used potassium fertiliser on them very recently (I thought potassium deficiency might be the problem) and I have also used some strong stuff to get rid of green flys: dimethoate, it says on the label.
