Tomato plant leaved curled and twisted?

helen_roberts_2

Hi, this is my first time growing veg with the children so am a bit clueless I'm afraid. I've grown 7 tomato plants from seed and have got them in pots in my conservatory (haven't got a greenhouse). They have grown quite tall now and I have just transferred them into 12" pots and they are supported with bamboo canes. Over the last week or so the leaves have started to twist and curl around onto themselves, is this normal? I don't know what ive done wrong and would really appreciate some help.

Thank you

Have you had a close look to see if there's any sign of insects or larva - maybe an infestation of some sort?
Although if they're otherwise healthy and not looking munched or a funny colour, I think tomatos sometimes do this of their own accord, and it's not necessarily anything to worry about.

No insects or anything, leaves are lovely healthy green, no discoloration etc.
I hope you are right and they will be fine, they are kind of taking over my life thinking about them all the time lol

I have the same problem, mine are in greenhouse plants fine full of flowers and tomatoes but getting worried about the leaves curling? no brown or grubs etc, thought they might have had too much sun (nOT) will keep an eye on them, the last time I grew toms was on the patio and got loads of large fruit,

happened to me last year dont worry my toms where ok I got rid of the dead leaves and branches this allows the fruits to have more feed.

leaf curl is common and not always a problem - it may be just because you have repotted them and disturbed the roots - in which case it will resolve itself soon enough.
