Many people know that growing tomatoes is difficult, as the vegetable can be quite "demanding customers."
However, with the right approach, they can be provided with ideal care, which will guarantee an excellent harvest.
For example, you shouldn't ignore curled leaves, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer.
What could be the reason for this kind of "behavior" of tomatoes?
Stress
Any change in comfortable conditions for tomatoes can cause stress. That is why it is worth thinking through all the details of care in advance.
Otherwise, the tomatoes will develop slowly and poorly.
Water
Not everyone knows that when there is a lack of water, plants begin to "save" resources. Curled leaves consume less of the necessary moisture, which is an important condition for survival.
Therefore, do not forget to water the tomatoes.
Boron
It is important to know that in rare cases the soil is rich in boron. But this element is extremely necessary for the correct development of tomatoes.
Therefore, during the season, carry out at least a couple of boron fertilizations.
