tomato wilting
I've returned from a few days away to find that one 'patio type' tomato
out of a pot of 3 has wilted/ The other two are looking healthy. There's no sign of any problem with the wilted one apart from the fact that all the leaves have wilted - no spots discoloration or anything. It looks exactly as if I haven't watered it - except, of course, it's in the same pot as two perfectly happy plants. The fruit on it still looks healthy. It's in a greenhouse, not outdoors. Any ideas? -- Kay |

Any ideas? Was it on the sunniest side of the pot, and could have dried out more. If you've been away could they have dried out possibly? Pam in Bristol |

Any ideas? Take a look at the roots, eaten by a grub? I've already had a good tug on the roots and they're in fine condition (1) A tug threatens to bring half the soil in the pot with it. (1) physically, that is, ie in terms of intactness and strength. But wilting suggests they may not be functioning. -- Kay |

Not dried out (and you'd expect the other two to suffer as well. The pot is only about 10 inches across, it was on the shady side of the greenhouse, and, in any case, I don't think we had any sun while I was away ;-) -- Kay |
