Tomatoes will send out roots along the stem if they are in contact with soil. This can strengthen an existing plant or make new plants by taking cuttings from healthy top growth. Using a scissors to minimize damage, take a cutting about eight inches long and remove most of the bottom leaves and any flowers. Plant them in moist soil and cover them with a plastic bag to stop water loss through transpiration. Keep them watered, and within a few weeks the cuttings should grow roots and begin to make new leaves.
