Tomato plant

[SKA]

Last night my biggest one was fine but today when I just looked at it, it was all wilted! Its near the window so it gets alot of stong sunlight, is that bad?

Thanks

If you mean it's an inside plant with the sun shining through the window, then it probably just needs watering. Keep in mind that the sun shining through a glass window may not produce the same benefit to the plant if it were outside. Plus, the heat is sometimes magnified which could account for the plants wilting. Water it thoroughly and see what happens...

Dad had loads in the green house last year. I think they require a lot of water.

Exactly what Clanad and CT have said, but to encourage you, I grow tomatoes in my conservatory every year. Last year I did 8 plants and had over 1000 tomatoes. I let the plants grow to the roof and set as many trusses as they like. It gets direct sunlight from midday onwards and the temperature regularly exceeds 35C. I stand them in trays and water them until the pots are standing in water; this way they get humidity as well. Masses of water and they will fruit you proud.

just keep the photosynthesis rate at a good rate. This involves carbon dioxide, water and light

I agree with everything that's been said about giving loads of water, but you must remember too that tomatoes need to be fed regularly.

Unless you are an organic grower you can't beet Tomatorite or ChemPak.

I'm sure that there will be plenty of good organic feeds oyt there too, I just can't recommend any coz I've never used them!

When the weather is hot and sunny, you will need to feed regularly - just follow the instructions on the bottle or packet. Enjoy the fruits of your labours...

I remember a member of my family growing tomatoes in the south of France and the tomato trees were in strong sunlight most of the day. Water and appropriate feeding should do the trick.

Make sure u watch out for signs of illnesses, like leaves at the bottom going grey and wilting. I think that's what they call mildew, it's a fungus that attacks and kills the tomato tree. Mine disappeared bcs of that last year, within 2 weeks it was all over... :-(
