Hi All
This is my first year of growing tomatoes in pots. The plants started off very well but have now developed curly leaves with white underside. Not all plants are affected. I have taken off the affected leaves. Is that enough or do I need to do something else. Pl help.

Preciousgreenfingers,
Can you tell us a bit more about your growing conditions?????

What size pot/container do you have them in??

What kind of dirt/soil did you put it in???

What kind of watering have you been doing?

What kind of ferilizing have you done, if any???

The plants are abt 12-15 cm high and are in 15 cm pots. I used normal potting compost and have been watering them every morning. I have not done any fertilizing as yet. The pots are in a sunny position and get about 6 hrs of sun( if and when we have it in london!!!)

Could be a Curly top virus, or a deficiency..
You wouldn't happen to have a photo would you???
That would help greatly!!!

Yeah, I was thinkin' that too,
it's maybe draining too fast and the plant
can't utilize the nutrients in the soil...

Hopefully we'll see a photo and that can fine tune it for us!!! [thumb]

Yes-the water was draining too fast. Have transplanted to bigger pots and the plants are doing just fine. Thanks for all your help.
