Once again a tortoise has grown a perfectly healthy, grape tomato producing tomato plant in his enclosure. I assume as an insult to my gardening talents.
I can not keep this tomato plant in that enclosure out of fear for the poisonous leaves. So.
I've removed the plant. And placed the root section into a pot of water in indirect sunlight.
So far so good.
But I've been here before. And every other attempt forward fails.
How much sun?
How much water?
What am I doing wrong?
Logic says to place the potted plant back in the same location that it was growing in previously.
My new pot is a large, 8 gallon. I have about 3" of pebbles in the bottom for drainage and I have another probably 13 or 14 inches of potting soil in the pot.
What do I need to do to keep it from dying like all of the others have?
