  • Rootless

    I've just potted on some tomato seedlings...well, plants really.

    They're a little bit leggy from being on the windowsill too long, but not excessively so.

    The thing is, they have almost NO roots!
    I'm expecting a nice tight little rootball, ready to go up from large module to small pot and what I've got is ridiculously top-heavy plants...two sets of true leaves, each leaf 2-3 inches long....and no roots.

    Does this mean there is something very wrong with my compost?

    They could be too wet meaning that the roots have rotted. Pot them good and deep and ease off the watering a bit and they should be ok.

      I had the same thing with seedlings in Westlands compost - potted them on with a different compost and they recovered well
