Rapid growth droop?
I know this has been discussed before, but can't find the old threads. Won't rapid growth sometimes cause a droopy or wilted look in leaves?

Is this issue for seedlings or plants already in the ground/pot? The next question might be fertilizer.

I would say only if the rate of transpiration exceeds the ability of the plant to absorb water. So not under usual circimstances I would say.
Is it windy/dry/hot? Karen O |

Ones in ground for about 12 days. Plants look healthy just some of the newer leaves look droopy like lack of or too much water. I haven't watered much since plant out since we have he some rain. The ground is moist to the surface.

What varieties are they? Some just have droopy foliage.

To my experienc, droopy lower leave can happen whe the plant is thirsty and/or not getting enough moisture. If dryness becomes severe then the whole plant will wilt.
Check the soil and if dry, water them. |
