Actually a little worried about mine. I seem to be loosing a lot of leaves the last few days - and perfectly healthy one too.
I've read that this might be a case of overwatering. As most of my leaves haven't curled up. Although I wait till the soil has gone dry before watering again, so I'm sure they can't be getting that over watered.
yea I over watered mine, it's really stunted them for the last few days and you can't remove the water lol...
I need to get a propagator heat mat or something.... it was nice and sunny and my pots were getting pretty dry every 2-3 days then the weather went crap but I still watered the same
all the new leaves are deformed and some of the younger ones the edges curled up.
some of the big leaves edges are just totally crisped away as well but I think that might be from where the touch the curtains in the window over night :S
my tomatoes are okay though, one is about 1.5metres tall and has like 16 or so little tomatoes on the main stem, pulled all the shoots as they appeared.
only germinated them like 2.4 months ago so guess technically it's not the end of the world.
I'm trying to boost their daylight hours by sticking them under 2 regular led lights in the evenings (highest watt ones I could find in wilko)
also decided to try regrowing a leek for the hell of it
It was one from tesco without any roots at all but the middle bit seems to have grown up a lot and it appears to have 2 new shoots popping out after only 3 days
That's basically how big oregano grows in 2months lol (did trim the top leaves off them earlier though since I read you're meant to get them to bush out)
the pepper plant I trimmed back to hell and topped again was only like 3-4 leaves 4 days ago somehow it managed to grow back stupid fast but I guess it has a pretty good root system going on.
lol will the leek survive do you think, I wasn't even intending to try and regrow one so I cut it really short as well then had to fish it out the bin and clean it under the tap when I had the idea to do it
I think my peppers I can fix them tomorrow actually, since they are pretty deep in the pots I can just carefully take them out of the pots without doing any harm to the rootball, stick a few inches of fresh compost in the bottom and place them back in.
seems like a good idea.
btw those big leaves on the romano pepper plants are 6 inches in size (9 counting stem they are on) makes the plants seem smaller than they are. I guess chilli plants have smaller leaves?
I think when I grew cayenne chillis the plant had much smaller leaves and was way more attractive to look at
