# I got this tomato plant late in the season. It was really healthy…

_Posted by Malissa on 2025-07-30_

I got this tomato plant late in the season. It was really healthy until a few days ago and now it looks like this. Does anyone know what’s wrong with it? Am I watering it too much. Am I not watering it enough? Does it get too much sunlight it stays outside on the back porch? Does it need to be replanted? Please help

this happened to my cherry tomatoes! it’s possible it could be in shock if you changed the soil, could also be too hot depending on location. how often are you watering and what kind of tomatoes?

I’m in Alaska and it’s like 20 hours of sunlight rn but it’s been raining the past two weeks and the temperature has been anywhere from 50-70 and I don’t remember what kind of tomato I think maybe jt was cherry tomatoes

i would move it to a different location if possible, needs about 6-8 hours of sunlight and watering weekly, i also recommend plant food!!! it saved mine. good luck :)

Too much water maybe cover them. And let the soil dry out some.

Try some Epson Salt
