# I’m a beginner and I’m trying to grow tomato plants. All of my leaves…

_Geplaatst door Emma op 2024-04-20_

I’m a beginner and I’m trying to grow tomato plants. All of my leaves started getting little white edges on them. They’re only a month old and I’m scared they’re already all dying.

What’s happening?! They’re just babies!!!

Is it because they’re too close together? Their roots aren’t even touching. I’m going to move them farther apart once it gets a little warmer and I can move them outside.

Could be sun burn damage if they white bits are crispy

Yeah the whites are crispy. What does that even mean? Aren’t they supposed to get sun?

#### Soup antwoordde op 2024-04-21

Yes, but the sun can be sometimes too bright or hot and causes the leaves to burn, place a mesh over top of them to give them shade
