Cherry Tomatoe plants
Hi I am new to the forum. I am growing cherry tomatoe plants in a container on my balcony. They get about 5 - 6 hours of direct sunlight a day and are producing some good tomatoes, however all of the leaves have dried out and fallen off (except for a few small ones by the base of the stem). Why are all the leaves dried out even though the fruit is growing in what appears to be a healthy way?

Your plant might have mites. Can you post a picture? Mite infested plants will look like they have brown dust creeping up from the bottom. Fruits may also be scarred. The pepper that died might have shown multiple bumps at leaf nodes where new growth buds were systematically killed by the mites until it had nowhere to grow from any more.
