Tomato plants need regular water to stay healthy. The soil must remain fairly moist where they grow.
Also, they will tolerate wet soil, but not waterlogged soil. The leaves will show signs of distress if they are floating in water for extended periods.
On the contrary, they will wilt and whither if there is less water.
It is important to get the water balance right. Dip a finger into the soil and make sure it remains fairly moist all the time.
How many times can you water tomato plants in a day?
Water them once a day as long as the water uptake (and water lost to the air) is at equilibrium with the water available in the soil.
If it’s too hot and dry, you may be required to water them twice a day.
They are known to be thirsty plants. Pay close attention to the leaves as they will let you know when they need water.
Generally, water regularly if you see that the tomato plants are enjoying the water.

Should tomato plants be in full sunlight?
Tomato plants love the full sunlight.
Though there are different varieties, the common tomato plants will require at least 6 to 7 hours of sunlight.
As mentioned earlier, tomato plants are tropical perennial plants, they thrive in hot and humid conditions. They need this condition to give good yields of tomatoes.
Cultivated garden tomato plants will not do well in shade. Grow them in sites where there is enough sunlight during the day. If you grow them in pots, put them in an area where there is a good amount of sunlight every day.
Your tomato plants will thrive in direct sunlight, but too much heat and too little water are bad for them.
In summer, especially during the long daylight periods, check on your plants. Give them water if the soil loses moisture and keep them hydrated during hot sunny days.
