Hi - I have Nasturtiums growing in hanging baskets, trailing and upright types. They've been doing fine until recently but the leaves are starting to curl badly. Any idea why? The baskets have general purpose compost with a little water retaining gel and fertiliser plugs. I have other plants in the baskets too. Could it be too much water? Fertiliser?

Thanks
