  • what's the matter with my nasturtiums?

    I have put a couple of photos in my profile. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I can't see anything on them.

    They just look a bit windswept to me - I wouldn't worry about it.

        Have you had a careful look on the underside just to check there aren't any tiny aphids there??
        It's a bit like the bobbly effect that currants get when they are attacked by aphids. Strange that the other leaf looks so healthy next to it- I'd have thought that if it had been wind then most of the plant would have been affected.

          They have been in the greenhouse up until now so I don't think it is wind...

            Could it be a leafminer of some sort?

            I have a lot of them on my nasturtiums and they look like the leaves in the first picture but not the second.

            If it is, you should be able to see them at the end of the trails as little dark spots.

              I think it's because they have been frying in the greenhouse. Try putting them outside and see if they improve.

                They look to me like a variety called 'Alaska' - it's variegated and is supposed to look like that!

                    Well- I saw they were veriegated- but are they supposed to go 'bubbly'???

                      They just do that sometimes - I think it's heat - but it doesn't kill them. That which does not kill us makes us strong -ish!

                        I am a right Wally!

                        Thank you Flummery, I have looked at the packet and in the corner there are a couple of variagated leaves amongst the normal ones... I thought the 'disease' looked pretty! It is a variety called Tutti Frutti.

                          Not at all! It's easy if you don't realise, to assume that a plant is sick when it's supposed to be pale and interesting at the edges! Now you've brought it up - everyone else will check their packets. I grew nasturtiums on my allotment last year as a pretty bed edging. They turned out to be climbing ones (hadn't read the packet has I?) and they rushed up me bean poles. If I'd have stood still long enough they'd have been up me trouser leg!
