hey gardeners.. I am a new vegetable grower myself .. i have a great little tip for u guys . my tomatoe plants got long really fast..... theyl get so long theyll touch the ground if there not realy high up... and i had a tomatoe plant in the side and it flopped over from the weight... so i gently tied them to that chains on the top... all topsy tuirvys have the same 3 chain design.. u can just gently make a loop around the thickest stalk of the plant. and tie it up..keep it a loose knot
A good tip, if it is within someones means, is to put a CFL bulb garden spotlight pointing up towards a hanging plant, if one is growing a hanging plant indoors, or if outdoors: to put a piece of wood or cardboard covered in flat white paint or reflective material under the hanging plant on the floor, so sunlight bounces up to the plant providing more light to the plant and providing sum light to the center top stem areas of the plant, that when hanging tend to get less light.
Infact, some reflective material can reflect up to 99% light back, More light more energy for more photosynthesis. More mass to a plant. Also if one was to introduce more Cardon Dioxide/ CO2 into the plant's stem and leaf area, they wouldgrow more massby up to 40%.
A water bottle, some plastic tubing, some yeast, sugar, and water can do this. It can be set up, to be a CO2 Generator. Some people grow plants upsidedown in buckets and a CO2 generator can be duct taped to the side of one. So far i haven't seen it done on youtube. It works on upright plants, it should working on indoor growing of upside down plants, and also in outdoor greenhouses using the same upside down growth method.
@iblowdanks nope, the roots due to gravitropism/geotropism will always grow in the force direction of gravity meaning down. so a root ball would form towards the base..... also notice how the phototropic response to light made a negative transversal response on the plant to bend and grow up towards the sun/light source...
@Discernaoftruth Phototropism is a plants growth in the direction of a light source, outside it being the Sun, Geotropism is a plants growth determined by gravity, since roots are in dirt they get little to no light so they will primarily grow down due to geotropism being a dominant force. The Stems and leaves grow upward and outtward due to phototropism being a dominant factor over geotropism.
Negative geotopism is when a plant grows in a counter direction with the force of gavity, so instead of growing downard; it grows upward. a tranversal is a Phototropic response point on the stem wear a plant's growth bends towards light source. so thats why the plant bended outward and up, on the sides of it, since the side stems and leaves are exposed more to the Sunlight. If, those side stems grow strong enough they can hold the weight of any fruit or veggies without hanging down.
This bugs eat holes in the tomatoes and then lay their lavae in there. From that you get kind if small looking white maggot things - if they are the same bug I am thinking of. But after saying that - if the fruit and plant are healthy the bugs tend to go look for easier plants to attack. This is of course as long as there is more easier plants in your area. the bugs will make sure they dont starve.
I'm not a gardener either, but apparently, the gravity causes it to grown downward and it yields more fruit and you don't have to worry about the grubs that eat your roots.
i wonder since it so small is the reason y they did not yield many fruits, i was thinking about makin my own. but hell y mess with the traditional way, lol that infomercial got rich on too many damn people. i don't wanna be next. i will get if it is in a dollar store, garage sale, thrift store. hehehe thanks for the comments it has helped me not to buy it, they planted a higher yeild in it to fool us. it worked . lmao
For those with low yield...google pruning tomato...For those with bug or other pest probs, netting is excellent and easier to use with hanging planters.
We bought ours from QVC and they sure made it look & sound like ALL tomatoes would flourish and give us a huge harvest of tomatoes....we fed them with Miracle Grow Tomato food etc and the yield was crummy really. Total misrepresentation. What a huge disappointment
We grew tomatoes last summer in these and we werent at all impressed....too much foliage and too few fruit. We wouldnt use them again for tomatoes...maybe another type of veggie?
It did well for a while and then they started to get attacked by some sort of bug. I went on vacation for a week and my husband forgot to water while I was gone. That pretty much finished them off. I suppose with the proper care these would work great.
Yes, I've noticed that that's how a lot of people do upside down tomatoes. With mine, I'm just wondering what is going to happen once it is weighed down with all the fruit. Right now, parts of it are growing UP towards the sun. Maybe it'll be gradual enough to where the stem won't split. Thanks for your comment!
i just transplanted a bonnie original into one of those yesterday.. the plant is allready trying to look up at the sun..cool

when you put it upside down does the root grow up

I didn't get much out of this either. I think you have to have the right variety to have success with this.
