General question for those who may have some suggestions. I have a few starter tomato plants ( less than 1ft and still indoors for a few more weeks) that got a little too much direct sun on them the other day. They wilted, but have come back over the past 36 hrs. The leaves are still a bit shriveled and sad looking, but the stalks look like they’re in good shape. Anything I should watch out for or do to help them along?

Keep them watered. Plants dry out very quickly in those small peat pots or the plastic flats.

They got sunburned. Are the leaves bleaching and turning white? If not they should come back fine. It’s pretty much about patience now.
