What are the proper conditions for growing these 2?
Please note I am an apartment dweller and grow these in pots. Is heat a
factor? I have a south-facing apartment, gets sun most of the day.
I also have problems with curly leaf parsley, but the basil grows like a
weed.

Dill and parsley are both in the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae).
Most, if not all, of the plants in this family have taproots - including,
among others, dill, parsley, carrot, angelica, coriander, lovage, osha,
sweet cicely, ...
If you give them shallow soil they'll die.
