Tomato just got checked.
This little tomato is alive and upright, but the tap root not touching water means it may stall if that stays the same. The grow sponge is doing the holding, but the plant still needs reliable moisture at the root zone to keep growing smoothly.
Today’s move
Make sure the sponge stays evenly moist and bring the water level or setup closer to the root without soaking the stem.
Check root contact
Recheck whether the tap root is actually touching moisture. If not, make a small reversible adjustment so it can.
