My cherry tomato plant is mostly green but some of the peripheral leaves are turning yellow and limp, I’m not sure what it needs:/ I repotted it about a week and a half ago to a larger pot and added some vegetable plant food to the soil, it seemed like it was doing well until yesterday

I’ve had this happen to me. It may not be getting enough water. I watered mine more and cut off the leaves and removed suckers. It started to turn around.

This happens to my other plants too and its most always needs more water.

Thanks, i’ll try that! I thought that might be it but google listed so many possibilities for yellow leaves that i wasn’t sure

It may also need more or a different fertilizer. I believe I read that they like nitrogen. I used a slow release fertilizer and water a lot

Nitrogen will cause more foliage and less fruit. You need calcium

I’m just using a basic vegetable plant food right now but i might look into fertilizers specific for tomatoes if they still look like they need somethjng

Whenever this has happened I’ve mixed ground eggshells into the soil and watered.
