I’m thinking this is a tomato plant, how often do you water and feed and what light does it get

#### Froglady3957 replied on 2024-07-17

I water every day but that’s the only one affected. All the others are fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

#### Alyssa replied on 2024-07-17

It could be some fungal or pest issue then, I’d separate it from the others and cut off the affected branches, or if you’re not particularly attached to it just trash and don’t compost. Might be too late to gain any fruit from it now

Is that where you water? They could be sun burned, also be sure to water tomatoes every day!
