Question by s_fol: How much should I be watering my tomato plant?
I have a potted tomato plant on my balcony. It gets plenty of sun and I’ve been using Miracle-Gro Tomato to give it nutrients. Lately, the leaves have been yellowing and turning brown. I think it may be from over or under-watering, but I’m not sure how much or how often I should be watering it.

Answer by p_rutherford2003
You might be over fertilizing with the miracle grow. Burnt leaves are usually a result of too much fertilizer.

Dig your finger in the dirt, if it still feels moist an inch or so down, let it be, otherwise give it some sun-warmed water. When it starts to get big, you’ll need to water every day, sometimes even a few times a day, depending on the plant size.

Good luck!

  8. Sorry for being pedantic, but tomatoes are fruit, and the cops need to find
    something wrong to warrant the expense of this massive raid, thats why they

    allowed to know the name of your accuser, find out who it was and ban them
    from using tomatoe sauce, and tomatoes in their salads.

    My tomato plants are about 5 feet tall right now and have blooms all over the place. My next door neighbor asked me what I have been doing to them last night. I have been feeding my tomato plants two types of fertilizer.

    46-0-0 – This encourages the plant to grow and develop lots of foliage

    9-46-9 – I use fertilom’s rooting and blooming once a week to encourage flowering.

    I sparingly used the 46-0-0. About 2 to 3 pellets per plant per month and I will feed them once more in July and water 3 days after the last rain.

    Good luck

  27. tomatoes tend to have a large root system and can get rootbound rather quickly, and that combined with the ability of the soil to hold water can affect them ..ideally there will be conditions that dont require frequent watering yet can keep the soil evenly moist for a couple of days. Huge swings from dry to wet constantly negatively affect them, and agreed dont over-fertilize, some rich soil in a large container is better .. last thought is tomatoes are like weeds, think ‘what makes weeds grow good around here’ ..

  28. Indeed tomatoes have big root systems, four feet or more deep if planted in the ground. In a pot you are stressing the plant. Dedicated patio type tomatoes do better but still enjoy LARGE pots, good drainage, constantly moist (NOT wet) soil. Often in pots the soil shrinks and the water runs down the sides, never getting to root ball wet. Feel and look carefully.

    Edge burn may indicate salt from the fertilizer, too much wind and the plant is drying on the edges, too little water………..but it could also indicate virus problems, especially if the leaves begin to curl/roll, turn purple, etc. Virus is carries by insects and it only take a single bite by an infected insect to infect your plant. Like with humans, no magic cure for virus.
