Droop plants

10 years ago

What can I do to recover ? I'm in Indiana weather is fairly warm plants get around 6 to 8 hours of sun not constant doe dew to my semi shady back yard , I try to move the pots around chasing the sun and you can imagine how hard that is with such heavy pots, well this is the story have my newly transplanted Roma tomatoes in a large 35 gallon pot, and some early girls in another , I have them in a mixture of organic top soil, some cow manure and some mirical grow, I also added two table spoons of gypsum in planting holes and powder egg shells, did I do to much ? Anyway I watered everyday the first week of transplant and I did harden them off for three days before transfering in large pots, Any way I noticed some aphids white furry bugs in the soil so I called my local nursery and they told me to spray a little soap on them they've only been in the large pots for about a week or so but after spraying them with the diluted soap mixture A few tomatoe plants are most defiantly wilting and just will not perk up!!!! They don't look hopless but they don't look great , they've been droopy for 3 days now , I got rid of the aphids but now I have wilting Roma tomatoe plants I tried flushing the soil I rinsed off the leaves to get rid of soap residue & I even sprayed a diluted milk mixture on them, I'm hopless,,, When I water I only water the soil and try not to wet the leaves but it's kinda hard when the leaves are droopy and touch the soil!!! I did remove lower leaves and I mulched with foil to help keep bugs away and reduce splashing , anyway will the wilting tomatoe plant effect the good plant since there in the same large pot? And please tell me what I should do to help them recover
