I've planted quite a few varieties of annuals in peat pellets as well as in soil blocks (compressed potting soil). All are being periodically watered from the bottom and are doing well. Plants are all about 4 weeks old and vary in size from tiny seedlings to 8" for the nasturtiums and other climbing plants.

While all the other plants seem to be doing well, some of the nasturtiums seem to suddenly be wilting and having their leaf edges curl up. One died completely. This is happening with both varieties (climbing and not) and in both mediums (peat as well as soil). They get the same water and light as everything else.

Any thoughts? This is the first time I'm growing flowers from seed. I've been more of a vegetable guy in the past.

Thanks

I'm curious as to responses on this, as i'm growing Indian Princess Nasturtiums this year and have seen a slight bit of the leaf curling thing happen with them if I don't water them enough.

Exactly same problem when normally they're away by now!Difficult to gauge whether under or over watered - been very windy here perhaps foliage dries out too quickly? any other thoughts to help appreciated.
