Cauliflower leaves acting strange
« on: April 04, 2009, 21:21 »


My cauliflower seedlings that I planted weeks ago seem to have something going on with the leaves. Some have completely wilted, while fresh new leaf sprouts are being produced. Is this normal? What could be wrong?

Are they in direct sunlight?

Sometimes, when you water them, tiny water droplets settle on the leaves and concentrate the sunlight, scortching them.  I would put them somewhere cooler with shade.

I think Bombers right  :) I've a few like that myself this year.

It may just be too sunny for them - I had to move some CCA brassica seedlings onto a west-facing window, as the midday sun was just too much for them.

Ah, thanks very much for your help. They are in a south facing window which gets sun all day long. I will move them now!  :)
