Even a Broken Tomato Will Produce Fruit Tirelessly: Add This to the Water for Strong Roots
It happens that strong and healthy seedlings break, but do not rush to throw away the plants.
Some gardeners grow seedlings with a reserve: sometimes the plants stretch out, become frail, thin and quickly turn yellow.
A simple trick will help a broken sprout to put out roots and quickly take root. And here's what you need to do.
What to do with a broken tomato
If your tomato plant breaks, try transplanting a small part of the stem with the root into a separate pot, and a part of the stem with leaves into water.
The part of the plant that ends up in water will quickly put out roots, and the root will sprout from the dormant bud. Both plants will later produce a good harvest, although they may lag a little behind other seedlings.
If the tomato is broken, add some potassium humate to the water to activate growth. Roots will appear in literally 6-7 days.
Don't rush to plant the plant in the garden right away; let it sit on the windowsill until the first new leaf appears.
Alternatively, you can do the following with a broken tomato: dip it in rooting solution, and then place it in water to wait for the roots to appear.
