| So my tomato plant is around 4 months old and its stem is starting to get a bit light brown colored. This is my first time growing tomatoes so I was wondering if this is normal or if my tomato has a disease? The plant that was growing next to it died (I know I shouldn't have kept it there but I didn't want to cut it back then) so I was a bit worried that my tomato plant could also die. Thank you very much. |

| No. That means it's stressed and is "aging" more rapidly than normal. |

| Both pots are too small to grow tomatoes in. This 10-Gallon Smart Pot would be a better choice. Also, I would be more worried about the limp stem of the tomato in the bigger pot. |
