Curling leaves

kas · May 3, 2007

I have a plant which is yet unidentified, flowers coming pictures to follow soon. However overnight the edge of the leaves on the uppermost part have taken an ever so slight curl, is this a sign of some future problem.

Cheers,
Kas

I'm not so sure what I'm looking at here. Do you mean a slight upward curl at the very edge of some of the upper leaves? Could you maybe put something behind the plant that would give better contrast?

Sorry I know its a bit of a rubbish picture but it is exactly what you said the upper leaves have started to curl along the outer edges...?

Nothing to worry about, I'll wager.

Wait till they're upside down. Or yellow. Or brown. Or White. Or dry and breaking apart. Or falling off.

I wouldn't panic yet - I have seen plant recover from worse states than this one (hard to see any problem actually but than again I'm a bit of a newbie myself but still I wouldn't panic if this were one of my plants).

it sounds natural enough - how old is the plant?

It should be ok, I am just counting the buds and there is about 30 coming imminently, (seem to have a good environment for these chilli plants)however the leaves that are going a little curly when held up to daylight have some lighter patches on them :?:

Its just a baby, I planted it Feb I think. Its all a bit experimental for me. I took the seeds from a pod on a plant I got given as a pressie last Oct, had to chuck the plant cos it was infested with some baddies :mouthonfire:

. 3 came up from 4 so not bad, you couldnt get 3 different looking plants ill post pictures when I get organised. What should I be looking for to identify the beggars?
