Hello fellow plant lovers! This branch of my tomatoes was torn off the plant by accident. Is there any hope in propagating it? There are a few clusters of tomatoes on it and it’d be great to save somehow. I’ve never done propagation before. Thank you!
Yes you can I believe tomatoe plants can grow roots technically from anywhere on the stem but the plat should be atleast 6 inches or it might not have enough energy to put out roots and may die off definitely plant them nothing to lose

I would take off any tomatoes because they’re just sapping energy from the plant that now needs to put energy into growing roots to save itself. Good luck! 😊💚🪴

I’ve had many tomato stems break off. For the tomatoes, you can put them in a brown paper bag and they will ripen.

You can cut it into two stems and bury them at least half way into the soil to grow a lot of roots. Remove all leaves and fruit below the soil.
This is so helpful!! Thank you! I have them in water now, I will move them to soil.
