My tomato plants are only one and a half inches high, but the leaves aren't lookin too good, what could it be?

Why are my tomato plants leaves misshapen and wrinkly?
I am not an expert on Tomato plants, but I have cultivated other plants! :-))





Watering in very important, make sure you are giving the the Right amount, that is not to much and not too little, you should read up on this, the leaves will also indicate if the problem, are the leaves just wilting, if the soil is dry and you are under watering then you just need to give a little more, however if you have been over watering the soil will become to acidic and damage the roots, so you have to look into soil management, and either reduce acidity by adding a base, or more drastic measures such as tranfer!





Humidity is also important, but as this depends on the type of the plant I suggest reading up on Tomato plants.

Added you could try spraying the leafs to water them if you have been adding too much water to the soil, this will provide the plants with water and give the roots time to recover!
Reply:does the plant have enough watering. is the water clean? does it get enough sunlight? is the soil dry? are there and bacteria near by? bugs?
