FAQs

Why are my tomato flowers dropping without fruit?
Common in high heat or when plants lack potassium. Move pots to partial shade in peak afternoon sun and apply NPK 5-15-45 during flowering.

Do I need to hand-pollinate tomatoes in pots?
Usually no, but gently tapping flowers or shaking the plant can improve fruit set on balconies with low airflow.

Can I reuse soil from a failed tomato crop?
Only if there was no disease. Refresh with vermicompost and let it sun-dry for a few days before reusing.
