  • Brown mottle on Tomato leaves with pics

    Help......

    Whagts this brown on my tomato leaves? It's only affected 1 plant. I think I may overwater but it has been very hot recently.

    I have a feeling I have some like this that started more yellowy. I think/hope it's a magnesium deficiency and can be sorted with some epsom salts. Someone more knowledgable may be along soon to help us both!!.

      I agree with Vix, nutrient deficiency, on older leaves I tend not to worry too much.

      this link might help .

          Yes its should be fine, I think it has trace elements as well so covers most things a plant requires.
          I wouldnt worry too much, a few feeds will sort it out. But as i said most lower leaves end up looking a little like this, so as long as the rest of the plant looks healthy you will be fine.

          It looks still in a smallish pot so probably the nutrients are getting low.

            The pots quite deep(around a foot and half) just doesnt look it in the picture. Its about 30cm by 30cm around the top. One thing is I only re potted it this week so It might have been to do with its last pot

                  As you said, you have not long repotted it, so give it a week and see, It should be fine.

                    It's amazing how sometimes if you look at something every day you dont realise the growth.
