# So I have had this tomato plant for 18 days now and it has been doing…

_Posted by Rebecca on 2023-09-10_

So I have had this tomato plant for 18 days now and it has been doing very good but recently the leaves seem to be drooping downwards… could I get some advice please? I’m not sure what’s wrong with it and I would hate for it to die. (The window picture was taken about a week ago and the pic of it on the table is present day.)

I think it’s telling you it wants a bigger home! 🙂 my first guess.

Yes I have a pot ready for it but wasn’t sure when to do it. I was gonna wait till I saw roots poke through the drainage but I probably should do it soon. Thank you for the advice 💚

I was growing some amazing shoots but come to find out, it isn’t tomato season? My friend taking care of them said it was impossible to revive so we had to rid of them 😭

I live in SE NC \& my tomato plants are alive, well and still producing!

I’m so glad. One day I’ll be able to do veggies. I may stick to herbs for now.

Definitely wants a new bigger pot! ☺️
