They are growing nice and big, not too tall but this type is supposed to be more bushy and doesn't need staking so that shouldn't be a problem. But the bottom leaves are beginning to turn brown. Is that a normal occurrence, since they are being shielded from the sun by the bigger, higher leaves? Or it a sign of a problem? The plants so seem fairly close together in the pot but we did follow the package directions on spacing. Any ideas?
We aren't experts... infact we make a lot of mistakes... but that happens with most of our plants and we still bring in a good "crop." We just pick/cut off the yellow leaves on the bottom. They aren't helping the plant and they are taking valuable nutrition away from it. I think it's fine. If you start to see spots or if some of the upper leaves turn yellow then you might have problems.
ReplyDeleteOh good, that's what I was hoping people would say. I'm just so nervous they will all die.
