    Hi all

    10 days ago I transferred my tomato plant to a larger pot and all seemed to be going ok. However in last couple days I've noticed the top is very curled up and I can't think why. See attached photo. Any thoughts?

    Hi,

    It could just be a change in the weather / temperature but do try and carefully look under those leafs in case you have any Aphids which can also cause the leaf to curl.

    Don't forget there is the Tomato 2020 thread for all such problems and tips.

    Tomatoes do this when they start to really grow fast, it looks bad but is a good sign. Usually it's the top leaves first thing and they unfurl during the day.
