The branches on my tomato plant are drooping downwards ,but otherwise look very healthy. Is this a bad sign?

The plants are producing signs of fruiting, yet the braches lean at 45 degrees on the main stem. I have fed them regularly with a tomato feed and have the two plants growing together in a very large pot in my lounge in front of the window. Please advise. Thanks.

You need to tie them to a stake for support or buy a wire tomato cage.
Reply:1) you need to get a thick dowel rod and support the middle by tying the plant to the dowel rod and putting the dowel rod into the ground.





2) Don't water the plant during the day.Water at night time and down by the roots.Just mist the leaves.





3) When you do water them once a week water with "Miracle Grow" for veggies or all purpose.But make sure you water at least every other day unless very dry weather then everyday.





4) Once the fruit starts getting bigger in size support by a fence,tomato cage,or you could get some clothes line and tie between to solid stable objects and let the plants grow along that for support.





5) Make sure when it starts growing in size you cut off and branches that aren't producing any fruit at all that way all the attention is put towards the branches that are producing.





Follow what i told you and you should have a wonderful tomato season.





good luck
Reply:You should have placed a tomato cage around them when you planted them, before they got to big to install one. That way, they grow up the middle of the cage and the branches are supported by the horizontal bars of the cage.





As it is, you may get away with staking and tying up each individual branch. Or put 4 stakes around the plant and use twine for horizontals to support the branches. You do want to avoid letting the stems (and, hence, the fruit) come into contact with the ground. This can lead to rotting of the fruit.
Reply:Tomato plan branches naturally droop downwards, the need of tomato cages depends on the type of tomato and whether it produces large fruit and/or large quantities.


If the top of the plant is leaning it needs to be staked asap.


Be sure they are getting plenty of sunlight. Tomatos plants LOVE sunlight and should get some direct sunlight for a few minutes and filtered sunlight the rest of the day.


Be sure you are drip watering your tomato plants!
Reply:If they are droopy they may need sunlight or water. If they are pretty good sized, you may need to stake them up, so they won't droop over.
