Why are my tomatoe leaves curling up? They're growing just fine, got buds and tomatoes growing, I of late...
They're growing just fine, got buds and tomatoes growing, I of late was wondering why they're leaves are curling, while the ones in the front courtyard in box plant holders are doing just fine, not curling and such
could be the start of blight, spray all the plants near a copper based solution, otherwise you may lose the lot
Hi,
Are they curling under from the top of are they curling as if deformed?
If curling beneath, then lack of river as suggested earlier is probably correct.
If they are curling as in deformed it is a virus and the plant will probably start showing signs of the lower leaves and limb turning brown and dying. No cure for this. The virus is spead by infected soil and the natorious white fly. You can control white flies by painting a small item something like a styrofoarm saucer and drawing it brght yellow, then coating it next to vasoline and hanging around plants. They are attracted to the yellow color and Once they home they are stuck. Or you can use poisons.
Good luck. Nothing better than a home grown tomato also see my site at http://johnnae.com/earthbox.aspx wher we grow tomatoes in boxes.
