Most of my tomato plants are doing really well. But the one in the cage highlighted in red started failing a few weeks ago. I fertilized with some Miracle grow I had lying around and it didn’t improve. Then I got some Tomato Tone. That did nothing. The plant kept getting worse and worse and now it’s just a husk. I’m afraid blue is following next and I’m concerned about purple. Here’s another angle for some more context. .

Any thoughts?

    Every day is probably too much, unless you’re in a dry area and they’re very well drained. I’d describe watering as saturating, not flooding, and let it dry to the roots, not just the surface, before watering again. Dry, but not completely moistureless bone dry

    Also, on hot sunny days, water in the evening or early morning, else you’ll just lose a lot of water to sun evaporation.
