My tomatoes were doing so well. I bought them from Home Depot with four already growing but after a few weeks the leaves seemed to be looking sadder and sadder. I water them every other day plus spray the leaves with water. I have them indoors because of the squirrels and this place has the most light. Any suggestions on what I can do to save them? They have plant food too so not sure what’s happening.
If you’re watering every other day that’s way too often. You shouldn’t need to water more than every 4-5 days. Maybe even less when indoors.

First. Don’t buy them if they already have fruit. I hold back the fruit until the plant is more established. Second Tomatoes need to be outdoors. With it already fruiting it needs more sun to keep up with production or it’ll die. If I were you I’d try to get one of the suckers and start a whole new plant this ones about done for. You can put the sucker in water and it’ll root then transfer it outside.

You are probably watering it too often also tomatoes should be outside.
