Answer
Hi,
Thanx for your question.  Make sure that you keep the soil moist but not soggy.  Allow the plants to have 8 hours of sunlight and the temperatures are above 70 degrees.  Leaves curl for a number of different reasons.  Make sure the plants are properly hydrated, fed and have the warmth and sunlight they need.  Epsom salts?  Horse or cow manure, yes!  No.  Elma, let me know if my advice doesn't work for you.
thx,
Tom
