[wilt in potted tomato plant]

What plants are you comparing it to in other pots? That might
illustrate the conditions that favor those and not tomatoes. If the
others were greens, brassicas and peas I'd guess that the weather was
cool, since they like cool and tomatoes need the warmth.


Tomato plants in other pots (all grown from seed, all hardened off) were
doing fine. This particular plant had rotted roots. Why, I don't know.
The plant sharing its pot (15-gal. container) is settling in and showing
new growth. I dug up the dying plant and confirmed that its roots were
moldy and dead. I wrapped up the plant and threw it out. It's a mystery.
Hope the remaining plant in the pot doesn't succumb.
