I had a few potted tomato plants which I brought in once they started
looking unhappy (leaves getting yellow and spotty). After a week
indoors they don't seem to be improving. Can I do anything? Thanks.


I would put a grow light on a timer so that they get a summers length
day.
Don't know if that is the problem, but it is a possible problem.
I do know that length of day triggers things in plants.


I had a regular fluorescent over them 24/7 and have now switched to a
plant/aquarium bulb. I was just hoping to keep the plants producing
for awhile longer. I guess the plants certainly won't continue once my
basement cools down.
