Hi Chris, well Tim and Paul have covered all aspects of your problem. It definitely looks like scorch, the drooping leaves are caused by overwatering and as Paul said too much water starves the roots of oxygen, plus the pot is far too small for a tomato plant. You need to let the compost dry out a bit so that it is not soaking wet but damp and don't let the pots stand in water aswell. I water my tomato plants every other day unless the weather is really hot - stick your finger in the pot to see just how damp the compost is around the roots. Tomatoes need regular watering. You need to maintain damp compost as letting the compost dry out completely then watering can cause the fruits to split. If you do give tomato plants too much water it can dilute the flavour of the fruits. Good luck!  |
Thanks Lesley, Have taken what they said on board and tried the things suggested. So fingers crossed. Will let you know if they make it
