    Hai-lo gardeners! I am a student that is growing a cherry tomato plant in a science lab, and my cherry tomato looks like its getting droopy and curly-ish. I recently fertilized it and watered it enough, but it is somehow unhealthy looking... the first image is the plant like two weeks ago, and second image is how it looks now. Should I replant it into bigger pot? or is there something else I can do? I really want to this sweet one to survive D: Help!

    Does your pot have a drain in the bottom? It has to have one or the roots will drown.

    Yes it does have a hole on the bottom, but I've never actually seen any water coming out from it. :3...

    When I am in doubt I put the chopstick to use. Run the soil ball through and through fifty or more times.

    If you can do it up from the bottom do that too.

    I would do as Coppice suggested and then, water it until water does run out. There may be blockage or your not watering it quite enough.
