Common Tomato Problems
Tomato plants are dramatic. The good news: most problems are fixable with a few checks.
Leaves curling
- often heat/wind stress
- check watering consistency
Yellow leaves
- older leaves yellow first (normal)
- widespread yellowing can be nutrient or watering related
Spots on leaves
- remove the worst leaves
- improve airflow (spacing + pruning)
