- You're watering your plant. You're fertilizing it. You are making sure it's getting plenty of sunshine and air flow- and it's producing flowers, but it never seems to be setting fruit. Why is that?
In this video I will tell you the main reasons why your tomato plant is not setting fruit and some ways to fix it.
Thank you Tara!! Super helpful. Shaking and waiting patiently here. 😀
You have just answered a really puzzling question. I've done virtually everything you have suggested, so I'm going to try the latter now...Patience. A great video, gets straight to the crux of it. Thanks.
Yep, sometimes we just need to give plants the time to do there thing. Appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching!
Patience is the hardest thing!!😅😢
Thank you so much, love your video's!
Very good into... Congrats and thanks a lot
These are some great tips my tomato plants are still a bit young to become adults and make tomatoes but I now know much more, thank you!:)
Wish you a bountiful harvest!💚
Great tips. I would also suggest investing in a product called Tomato and Blossom Set by Bonide. It's a very cheap ($6) spray that claims to emit a hormone that induces tomato flowers to set fruit. All I know is that since I started using it by plants haven't had a problem. They sell it at Lowe's, but it should be easy to buy online.
Thanks for sharing the tip as well as your experience!!💚
Thanks my dear friend 👍
Wow I didn’t know that mines are not setting fruit now I know why thank you.
glad it was helpful!
Nice,,,vidio,,👍👍👍👍👍👍🆗
Thank you for some great information. I am trying to learn some of the do's and don'ts of growing tomatoes.
Some people told me I planted my tomatoes to late for my area...that it would get too hot for them to set fruit.
They are nice tomato plants and most have blooms. Temps have been hitting close to 100F during the day and over 75 at night.
This is in Texas.
Would you advise I remove these plants and start over planting seeds now to put in garden in a month or so? It is the end of June now here.
Or is it possible to prune the plants back so they will sort of start over as if they were a fall crop? Thanks for your help or anyone else who would wish to chime in to help me. Jesus bless.
Texas has some pretty unique tomato weather...even though similar gardening zones as California, the heat and humidity of Texas does not allow for summer tomatoes. Your season is pretty much over right now. I am not the right person to advise you since I live in California, very very different tomato growing since it is hot, but the heat is dry, so diseases are much less. I can start another crop right now (in fact I already have seedlings going!) But I am not sure you can do the same in Texas. One of the best RUclips gardeners who lives in Texas is Black Gumbo Southern Gardening. Why don't you pop over to his channel and ask the question in one of his recent videos, either he or someone in the community should be able to guide you. Thanks for watching my video. I hope you get some good answers, and sorry I can't be of more help, tomatoes are so climate dependent!
Mine aren’t even flowering
Might be too much nitrogen, try high potassium and phosphorus fertilizer. Nitrogen is good for leaf development, potassium is good for fruits and blossoms, and phosphorus is good for roots, energy conversion, and cell health.
Don't get me wrong all plants need all these nutrients, but just in different concentrations depending on the plant and it's stage of life.
Great tips, yes, thanks. A soil test is helpful too to find out if your soil is lacking anything!
I had mine in the kitchen by the window and after i ate all the tomatoes, it never made tomatoes again and died. Should it be outside instead? (Im in southern california) I will try again in the spring or summer 😞 i have no luck with vegetables
Tomatoes done perform well indoors even with a bright window. Outdoors in full sun with shade cloth during those Southern California heat waves, should provide it with the right conditions to continue to produce. Good luck next summer!
Hi thanks for sharing. I live in Msia and recently planted a tomato tree with little tiny fruit. Its been 2 weeks and the fruits doesn’t grow bigger. What’s the reason ? I put bananas and bone meal while there are flowering. Feel giving up 😅
Oh please don't give up! Tomatoes take a long time to grow, and the good news is that you actually have fruit. If you live in Malaysia, hot and humid, if it is too hot, they will grow more slowly or even stop growing until the weather comes to a better range for them. I am not sure if you have a local gardeners community in your neighborhood to see if othera are also experiencing what you are. You can also see if there are Facebook gardening groups for your climate, and ask there. Sorry I don't know the answer, but you might just have to wait a bit patiently 😉
@@GreenLove1it is super hot here. mine won't fruit, all other plant around it fruit so many, but tomato none.
@@mfmr200 oh that's too bad. Maybe you can try growing when the weather cools off a little? Not sure where you are located...
My tomatoe plant is growing, but have no flowers,I was wondering why?
I have many that are still not blooming. It's still early in the season!
same here they made flower but on the end of the day they fall off
sorry to hear that
You're a baddie ngl❤ but thanks for the help my tomatoes wouldn't grow any
Sorry about that, wish you better luck next time!
Flowering tomatoe needs more water?
I wouldn't say they absolutely need more water, but when the tomatoes are starting to ripen I would cut back on the watering a little because they can crack with too much watering. The key is to do some consistent watering and make sure the soil stays somewhat moist but not water logged so the plants have the ability to up take those nutrients.
Also at the flowering stage I would start using fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorus instead nitrogen, because potassium promotes blossom and fruiting, phosphorus promotes root health and helps with stress, nitrogen promotes vegetative growth.
Can you help me my tomatoe flowers not opening 😔
Sorry to hear that, never had that happen to me. Maybe someone else in this community can help?
@@GreenLove1 hm ok
Most people dont have a problem with cherry tomatoes not fruiting its the beef steak indeterminate that go crazy for me and I have to prune out suckers and splits ,,, yet other people growing the same plant dont have this problem. I have plenty of bright yellow blooms but not setting fruit in the middle of june.
There has been plenty of wind of late so that should not be a problem here.
@@yes350yes interesting, hmm. Are the flowers just dropping off? Not a single fruit?
@@GreenLove1 how come any dummy can grow these and I can’t. It’s July 18th, I’m in north Alabama. Getting that 6-8 of sun, watering, good soil, etc. it has been a couple weeks of hot heat but maybe no bees and humming birds. Plenty of other birds!! Is it too late to go try another couple plants?? One plant bigger boy has about four tomatoes and the other has two!! My first time tomato plants and I’m a failure!!
I typed up a long response to this, and somehow it vanished. I suggest that you check in with your local Master Gardener chapter. Just do an internet search for Master Gardener Alabama, And you should find it. They should be able to answer for free, any and all questions about growing tomatoes in your county. It's a great resource! I hesitate to advise mainly because Growing tomatoes is so climate specific. In fact one of my Alabama friends on Instagram has already completed her tomato season. Anyway, check it out. You are brand new to growing tomatoes and learning is part of the joy of the experience. Enjoy gardening!
you have the best teeth! so beautiful.
Ha ha, my mother always told me that too! Thanks for the sweet compliment!
What do you mean watering consistent,,,?
I like to water on a regular schedule so that the plant never has days where it gets too dry and goes into survival mode. you don't want it to get gets too much water on some days, and then none at all and drying out on other days.
Lol,i know now that mines is the heat why alot of flowers falling but the 3rd reason made me laugh,that is so me and my mom..we expect it to flower today and fruit tomorrow.
I know, I am the same way!!
@@GreenLove1 🤣🤣
There is one thing that makes tomatoes doesnot set fruit, its because too much nitrogen
Great tip. Thank you!
Skip to 3:45 ....
Skip the slow drawn out baby talk that repeats the premise.
Lol, one of my older videos, yikes it was pretty painful to listen to myself even on double playback speed!! Live and learn!! Thanks!
@@GreenLove1
I still tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters.
@francus7227 haha, much appreciated!!!💚
You could talk a little bit faster. Loosing interest.
Great feedback! I will!
Also, you could play the video at twice the speed! I know I do that all the time! 😀
