Hi! I’m on my first planting with the click and grow 9 pro garden. My tomato’s seem to be doing really well but have noticed some of the bottom leaves drooping and turning yellow on the ends.
Do I eventually remove the leaves, or just let them run their course?
Hi @kreeves100
It’s good to have you! After the tomato produces fruits, the whole plant finishes its cycle, so you can grow new plants there again. You can remove the yellow, withering leaves as they degrade.
If you are a green thumb enthusiast, I’d recommend repotting the tomato into new soil 
But it must be kept under a good light or bright windowsill.
Do you have any more tomatoes growing right now? 
Happy gardening!
Hi there are you using the “pro plant cups” (perforated slits in cups for roots) for your tomatoes or the regular (non-perforated) cups? I am using the regular/standard cup without perforations and am worried my tomato plant might be becoming root bound. My plant is on day 75+-
From my experience, tomatoes rarely get root-bound, although they could grow some roots through the wicks.
Perforated cups can be useful for having more root space and easier access to water.
Hi Debora,
Thank you for the great tips!
I do have one other tomato plant pod that is growing - the two of my plants together have a total of 5 mini tomatoes!!
I am wanting to repot them but not sure what kind of soil to use. Do you recommend a specific one?

Hi DrGreenThumb,
I did use the perforated cups for my tomatoes and peppers since they are fruiting plants. I felt it might offer a better environment for the roots. I am on day 76 today 11/14 and still seeing growth in the plant. I do think your tomato plant should be just fine though in the regular cups, just avoid over watering the water tank!
Hi again
That’s great news! Keep pollinating when more flowers appear.
It’s hard to recommend one specific substrate as I don’t know what is available at your location. But the best would be a universal mix of peat, sand, and compost. There should even be special substrates for tomatoes or vegetables in the garden centers. The soil pH should be slightly acidic (6.2 to 6.8).
Tomatoes are known to root easily, so it’s recommended to plant them even deeper than they grew, with most of the stem in the substrate.
