mh330 asked:


I have a patio tomato plant that I’ve had for about 1-2 months now, and its been doing great — lots of fruit that’s growing well. The plant has always had a handful of yellow leaves at the bottom, which i understand is pretty normal. However, the past week or so the yellowing has spread further up the plant (bottom 1/3 ). The leaves are developing a mottled yellow pattern at the outermost leaves first and then moving further in towards the middle of the plant. Once they turn yellow they start to dry up. There are no brown spots. I have fertilized twice with an all purpose fertilizer 15-30-15. I usually let a little water sit in the draining plate underneath the planter — am i overwatering? Not enough sun? They’re in a window that gets indirect sun all day and direct sun from about 8-10am. Thanks!

    For the plants are root bound or that the roots to over fertilize or not to grow careful not in big enough container for the roots.
    My guess that will kill it needs more room to have elbow room no problem while plant was small not it needs more room to grow careful not to have elbow room no problem while.
