| Most of the leaves on my nasturtiums are curling inward, pronounced, not just slightly, and even the small emerging leaves. The larger ones are also yellowing. This is in a window box. They are flowering nicely. I did not grow from seed, as I have done before, but purchased at nursery and transplanted about a month ago. Plants have received very adequate rain water. What to do?? |

| Maybe they are getting too much water. Usually yellow leaves are a sign of one of the following too much water, lack of water or lack of fertilizer. If you live where there have been many rainstorms too much water would be my guess |

| Not sure about too much the water theory, unless the box has no drainage holes. In a window box, even in a wet climate, plants need supplemental water. The amount of rain falling on that small surface area is not sufficient. Are you saying you have never watered them since they were planted? I would give them a good soak. If they do not perk up then you know lack of water is not the problem. |
