If you’ve noticed your tomato leaves beginning to curl, it could be that the plant is in desperate need of moisture – amongst other problems. If you can identify the problem, then you will be better equipped to solve it.
Bugs May be Hurting your Tomatoes
In some cases, bugs are the villains. Aphids may be responsible for the leaf curling present in your tomato garden. An easy way to see if aphids are causing your tomato leaves to curl is to check the underside of your leaves. If there’s a little aphid villain looking back at you, it’s time to get rid of them!
Lady Bugs like aphids, aphids like tomatoes, and you want to keep your garden aphid-free in a natural way. What should you do? Get lady bugs to help!
If you aren’t a big lady bug fan, you can always arm yourself with soapy water. Squirt the aphids and watch them flee. Your tomato plants won’t mind the shower.
Don’t Rule Out a Virus
Your leaves may be suffering from Leaf Curl Virus. If this is the case, then their disease is incurable. Destroying the plants with the virus is the best way to keep it from spreading to healthy tomato plants.
