When we got our tomato plant it had been grown from seed, in a tiny pot, and I moved it into a less tiny pot. It then started growing really fast and looked beautiful until one day we had a typhoon... it sort of stayed bent over and didn't snap, so we bought it a little "cage" (as you can see in the photos) so at least it wouldn't fall too far!
Then all the leaves started getting dry and droopy, and it started needing lots and lots of water (it still does... it's bone dry within hours of watering!) so we went on a mission... after lots of looking into what it needed we went off to try and decipher the contents of all the fertilizers and so on locally. Eventually we found one with a photo of a tomato on it, and managed to figure out the contents, and that it was good for tomato and strawberry plants... So after about 5 weeks of giving the tomato some fertilizer once a week, it's looking much better (just try and imagine what it was like before!), although for some reason the stem is still thin at the bottom, it seems to be growing up the way and the top is thick... take a look at the photos (sorry the first one's a bit fuzzy...)
