Courgette leaves blackening.

Hi,

I have some courgette plants and whilst watering today i noticed that 2 of them have black patches on 1 of their leaves. Do i need to just cut them off or is it a major problem? The rest of the plants all look ok.


Cheers

Hi Rusty

I would cut down on the water just give them what they need no more I keep mine just slightly damp as they can easily rot at the roots I have a feeling it might be the dry air because they are growing on the window sill and the leaves growing so quickly from your picture I dont think mould or anything nasty , did you spill water on them ?? or over water at any point as they can lose alot on the edges I have had this but not on small plants only when bigger I would just keep a eye on them for now we will see what the others have to say on here .

Water from the base if possible (stand in a saucer of water for 10 minutes - don't forget them though, they won't like becoming water logged), rather than watering from above.
