So when my tomato plants were wee babes and only about 1 foot tall they shared a pot (I procrastinated repotting, I know). And one day we had horrible storms and they got knocked over. I’m assuming they had been on their side for pretty much my entire 8 hours of work, one of the plants was snapped almost completely in half & the other just started bending instead of staying straight. So I leaned them up against my bench while I waiting for my mom to prepare the big boy pot she was giving me for them. The snapped one was still green and perky even though it couldn’t stand on its own so I left it to see what would happen 🤷🏻‍♀️ About a week later I finally repot them and tied them to their own rods. I didn’t have much hope for Snappy because the site where she broke was pretty gnarly looking even though other than that she looked great. Other tomato was flowering at this point and even had a baby one. Another week after being repotted and Snappy blew my mind, she started flowering!! Still no tomatoes even though her sister has 3.5, but honestly I’m just surprised she’s even still alive and flowering now. So anyway, today Planta told me to pinch the little spurs in between branches and while doing so I noticed some little bumps on Snappy’s stem. In another post I saw that these were a good thing possibly but I recall it being a completely different plant. Whatever these are, are they okay? Also including a picture of Snappy’s snap site, it’s looking less zombie-like and more dry scab-like. (Don’t mind her dirty stem, it’s been raining A LOT the last few days and her soil splashed back at her). If you made it this far, thanks for being there for Snappy & her adventure 🖤😂🍅 Ps: there is a VERY recent mealy bug issue, so if you notice the evidence of that ignore it, I’m working on it 😅

    It’s root growth probably from touching the soil. The little growth between the leaves are called suckers they’ll grow into a new leader filling out the plant. Most people prune them off so the plant doesn’t grow too out of control. Towards the end of the season I just let them grow. Also pruning off the bottom leaves that touch the soil helps to keep pests and diseases away.

      You can also wrap the break point with plastic wrap to prevent any disease from getting into the softer tissue there. However it looks mostly scabbed over at this point.
