What is doing this to my Nasturtiums?

last modified: last year

I've seen this starting to happen about a month ago. It's destroyed almost all my nasturtiums so far. I don't see any visible insects on or underneath the leaves.

Did you have a hail storm in the last month?

Steve, I was thinking about your nasturtium last week too and wondered if it had bloomed. Beautiful flower indeed. Yours is different from mine. My flowers didn't have tail like that and they don't stand out like that. They are some and some even hid inside the leaves. Maybe my soil was too rich so I got lots of leaves. Yours is beautiful. I like the community too. It looks so peaceful and has lots of trees.

Here's an old thread, and have you tried adding "care" to the end of your nasturtium google search? Or "growing" to the beginning of it? I found a couple of sites with some information; most you already know. But here's the discussion thread: Here is a link that might be useful: Nasturtium Discussion '05

Thanks. =) That one may get a bit too much as it is literraly the center of attention; Hanging in the center of the porch and gets all day sun. The sun shines, angled on my porch all day. Left side midday & afternoon...right side midday and morning (somewhat SE facing...not really sure...lol...I need a compass). I think I may move this plant due to it possible getting too much sun.

Insecticidal soap or oil will kill aphids. If there are a lot of immature aphids feeding, the water spray needs to be pretty strong. Spraying soap or oil is more gentle.

big city location ... is usually helpful

if a plant continues to flower.. i guess is wouldnot say they are destroyed.. regardless of how ugly they may get ...

do you expect them to live forever??...is winter coming where you are ... what has the weather been like since this started???.. and hail storms or some such??

other than a pic of slight damage.. you havent given us much to work with ...

and if you cant find a bug day or night.. then it probably isnt a bug ..

and that doesnt look like a disease off hand..

so i am leaning toward mechanical ... something is beating up the leaves ...

ken

ps: have you looked for bugs at night?
