The leaves on my tomato plants are drying up and the flowers are drying too. What could be the problem?

I planted them 4 weeks ago and they are about 80cm tall. I have done nothing to them since i planted them except tying them up and watering them. I have kept them v.well watered. I am wonderin if i have overwatered them? They have only started wilting in the last 2 days.

over watering will cause them to yellow and go limp like an old banana. Tomatoes are a hot weather sun loving plant.


If its been cloudy or below 90 degrees they dont require as much water. dont love your plants to death, let nature do its thing....... hows the soil ph?
Reply:I think you have most probaley over watered. If I was you let them dry out for a couple of days.


The weather has been a bit cold for them but now the weather is warming up .They might just be ok.


Good Luck.


Are they outside or in a greenhouse
Reply:you are watering it from the house . stop it . if you dont have a well to water it then build a border around the area and flood it once a week . the chlorine and the fluoride is killing your plants do not spray the leaves with it .
Reply:you are over watering it. what type of nutrients are you using, and did you plant it from seed. you didnot mention if its getting good sun

What do you do after you dry out flowers for awhile...?

Okiee dokiee, well my boyfriend gave me roses for valentines day, and so then I hungthem upside down for like a few months, because my brothers' fiance has not been over so, I don't know what to do next! They were hanging upside for about 2 months, and now I finally brought them in my room. Do i need to spray them? Can I put them right side up? Please help! Thank you! Will pick best answer!

What do you do after you dry out flowers for awhile...?
Yes, I'm sure your roses are perfectly dried by now and ready to be displayed however you want. Some people do spray with a thin coat of clear coat or even hairspray, but I never have and I ve had them last for many years. I even took one bunch along when I moved and they just lost a few petals. Do whatever you like and enjoy!
Reply:Dried out and dead roses . just a shell of what they used to be. Toss `em in the garbage and get some fresh ones. How long do you need to hang on to a memory?
Reply:If you like the sight of dried roses (I don't), you need do nothing more after they are dried out. You can stick them in a vase and wait till they turn to dust.
Reply:When somebody gave me a rose I used to put weights on it like books to pressed it so I can put it in my photo album in 2mos or so


Quickest way to dry flowers??

I picked a few petals from a wilting rose outside, and I want to use them for a project, but they need to be dry soon. What is the quickest way to do this?

Quickest way to dry flowers??
lay them on a screen where air can circulate all around the petals.Next time cut the whole head off the rose and dry upside down in a warm breeezy area, within a few days it is almost completely dry!
Reply:use silica gel. you know that stuff that comes in a new pair of shoes? put some in a ziplock bag along with the petals and they should dry out pretty quick.
Reply:Food dehydrator if you have one or know someone who does.

What can I do to preserve or dry my flowers that I recieved for Mother's Day?

I think they are beautiful and would love to keep their color intacked. I don't live very close to a store so anything natural or done with something that I may have already at home would be great. Thank You

Try pressing the flowers between the pages of a book. The place a few more on top so that there is a weight on top. After a week or two the flowers should be dry :)
Reply:spray them with hairspray and then let them dry
Reply:Someone told me to wrap my wedding flowers at the bottom tight in ribbon and hang them upside down. I think I also heard hairspray???
Reply:you could put them inside a book
