Hi I've just taken these older leaves off my tomato plant and they look like this, none of the other leaves on the plant look this way so I was curious what this is caused by? is it just natural death of the leaf as new ones appear?
possible causes could include water stress, heat stress maybes? + whatever anyone else thinks this is? I don't think it's nutrient related as the plant has only just started flowering and this is new compost, will be adding tomorite once its flowers are fertilised though 🙂
suggestions or ideas are appreciated as I know very little about ailments and what different things with plants mean 😅😅
also also sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this

Lower leaves will naturally shed if they are not getting enough light for the plant to maintain.  Â
If the veinal chlorosis gets worse. Then look at nutrients. Â
It’s a possible micro nutrient issue. If your plant is flowering, you need to add a flowering top dress especially for tomatoes. The plants needs change as it begins the fruiting process.
