Curling leaves

Hi! I'm doing indoor cherry tomatoes for the first time and I noticed on my Patio tomato that the leaves are curling under. I have the tomato in a pine bark and Fafard's container potting soil mix and have been watering with Foliage Pro fertilizer. Is this curling anything I should worry about? My other plants don't appear to be doing it.

Thanks!

The variety Patio tends to have what are called Rugose type leaves. Regular shaped but more pleated/bumpy/twisted/wrinkled and a darker green. So while I would check carefully for aphids on the undersides of the leaves as they can cause that sort of twisting, I wouldn't worry about it otherwise. Just avoid over-fertilizing.

I've had a bout with aphids recently, they went for my peppers first so after that I made a Neem oil spray and they haven't come back :) thankfully the tomatoes all seem to be free of them.

thanks!!
