Calendula Plant Leaves Are Curling Downward

Question From: Denton, Texas, United States
Q: I planted my calendulas about 2 months ago and their leaves are curling down. Some have white lines over their leaves. I found some little white balls under some leaves. Thank you for your help.

A: Looks to me like a soil/moisture issue. Fast draining soil is key and the soil you are using is moisture holding. Start with seed starting soil. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
