Hi all -
I have some dianthus seedlings that I potted up yesterday and noticed this afternoon that some of their leaves are curling under a bit - is this due to over watering? I have been trying to keep them on the dry side and only bottom water. Thanks!
Curling leaves
I'm wondering the same thing except my taller, older seedlings are the ones with a few curling leaves. I'm wondering if it is a sign of needing to be repotted? I'll be watching this thread for replies.
Can you post a picture?
I'm going to take a guess & say it's transplant shock. They should bounce back. I did have some seedlings that I hadn't watered all the way thru...the bottom half of the cell was bone dry. The leaves curled down & I pulled one out of the tray to see what was going on. I have been making sure to deep water now.
Ahhh, I think you're right. I'd put a picture but have misplaced my camera. They seem to be doing better now and are curling much less. They look nice and green (not yellow) so I didn't think it was because of overwatering. Thanks guys!
