I have my tiny tim tomato plant in the bathroom in an east facing window. And I am determined to keep it alive this time. I lost the Romas last year due to overwatering.
So can someone tell me how often I should water it?
And, also should I clip off the brown leaves?
And, should I clip off where the tomatoes were and those little clusters of stem ends are?
Thankyou for any and all help. I really want to keep it alive this year. It produced really well and it is so nice and compact.

I wouldn't water until the soil is dry down about 2". I'd trim off the uglies-why not? Out here, we're told to feed all container plants, even citrus, year round, so I assume you'll want to feed as necessary. Good luck !
