Sunburned Tomato plants

14 years ago

Hi Everyone, First of all thanks to all experts.

I am a new gardener, I sow some tomatoes seeds on 3rd week of March. Some of them are doing good. Today I kept them outside on my balcony and seedlings got burn.(South facing balcony, can get 8 hrs Sunlight)

Any advice what should I do now?

Any fertilizer I should use?

What are the normal care I should take about tomatoes?

Thanks

Jay

Depends on how badly they are burned. They might recover but they might not. Even if they do recover it could take them a few weeks. I have had some plants with light sun scald do well. When plants are damaged that young, they sometimes never overcome the damage. You might be better off buying some plants to replace the ones you lost.

I made the same stupid mistake over the weekend. Out of the 5 plants, one was quite badly damaged with burns on most of the lower leaves. The other 4 had burns but only on a few leaves. Mine are over a month old however, so i am hoping they will recover!
