My rocket seedlings are 1.5 weeks old but they are not growing healthy. They are dying. Can anyone please suggest why could this be?

Hi Kurat.azam
Can you tell us more about where your rocket is growing ... indoors or outside, what sort of compost, sunshine or shade...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Too wet would be my best guess - from those photos.
Tiny seedlings of any plant don't want to be overwatered, and don't like being in soggy compost, so perhaps you need to adust your growing medium. They need good drainage, kurat, and they do like a sunny spot when they're established and growing, but I also have rocket growing in shade, so that's less important once you get some plants growing away.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
