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 whatâs happening.
If youâre watering every other day thatâs way too often. You shouldnât need to water more than every 4-5 days. Maybe even less when indoors.
4 gillningarAgreed mine are in a raised bed with lots of sun I water them every 2 days and theyâre pretty big. Also have read recently you donât want to wet the leaves. I found tomato plants are one of the easier things to grow ! đ

First. Donât 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 itâll die. If I were you Iâd 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 itâll root then transfer it outside.
3 gillningarSo just take the one of the tomatoes thatâs already growing and replant it?
0 gillningar No a sucker is a new leader (new growth) between the main stem and a leaf.

You are probably watering it too often also tomatoes should be outside.
1 gillaI should have taken into the account the environment when watering them. Thank you.
