Can anyone tell me why my potted tomato plant is shriveling up its leaves and not growing much? He has some fruit but the plant itself isn’t progressing much. We’ve had lots of intense storms and rain this past week so I’m not sure if that’s it.

    Is it me, or is there a powdery layer on the shriveled leaves? Stems look good, fruit looks good, but if that’s powdery mildew, could be the issue. If not, when’s the last you fertilized?

      Hmm, maybe there is? I’m not sure. Admittedly it has been a bit since I’ve fertilized. Could that be the problem?

      It’s a possibility, plant is pumping nutrients to the fruit, if it’s too taxing I’d imagine the leaves are the first to be sacrificed.
