Gf accidentally sprayed our herbs with a 50% vinegar solution. What do I do?
She didn’t know it was Half vinegar, half water. I use that bottle to clean my shoes and it got mixed up in our move. They live in a north facing window in our kitchen(north hemisphere)
I imagine they’d be fine but you can rinse them and rinse the dirt out a bit. Would prolly just up the ph of the soil a bit

Add to salad… /s I think you are good. Give them a rinse if you’re worried.

Side note: spraying does nothing for most plants but cause rotting. Water the soil, not the plant.

Rinse it off the leaves, they will be okay.

They’re fine. But as someone else said, spraying or misting plants doesn’t help them.

Like the 5% acetic acid vinegar mix? Probably nothing. I thought you meant 50% acetic acid vinegar that used to kill weeds.

If she diluted standard vinegar from the grocery, it’s probably closer to 3% acetic acid. If you’re worried, spray them some more with water to dilute further.

Throw some olive oil at it and you’ve got a good start to a nice vinaigrette.

if it was like a mist, they should be fine. if it was like soaking the soil, i’d change the impacted soil. vinegar does kill plants, but it’s a dose thing. those look decent size and healthy, so i’d just rinse them off so it doesn’t burn the leaves.

They’ll be fine. It’s just vinegar.
