My Nasturtiums Have Tiny Leaves, Right About 8 Inches And Then Die. Why?

Question

I live in Goa, India. Is the climate too hot for nasturtiums?

Answer 1

This could be from a few different issues. Overfeeding and overwatering will be the first two things that I would check. They are accustomed to very dry, and very nutrient deficient soils. Too much nutrients can be an issue, and inhibit growth, as well as overwatering, since these plants prefer things to be quite dry between waterings.

After you can rule out those two factors, then next would be pests. Control will depend on the type of pest.
