Tomato branches drooping / Flowers dropping

13 years ago

Yesterday at around 3:00 pm I noticed that a few branches of both my container tomato plants were drooping. I searched for an answer and it was like it could be anything. Couldn't figure out. Early today morning I checked the plants and they looked fine. Today at the same time I was back and again the branches - more than the previous day - were drooping.

I am expecting this has to do with the outside temps which are touching 90F and the plants have not been under shade.

The only thing that has got me a bit worried is that even when the temps were going above 95F sometimes back, they looked fine then. But after the flowers have bloomed, this has happened / is happening.

Is this a phenomenon that starts after flowering, when temps rise above certain levels? Perhaps because of the flowering stress.

On a side note, the flowers are also not forming fruit and dropping. I understand the temps may have a large part to play in this as well.

What can I do overcome these two things?
