Plant information

General

You don’t need to have a large allotment to grow your own veggies. Most veggie plants do just fine in a pot in your garden or balcony, just like this tomato plant. Place the plant in a not too windy spot and make sure he has enough room to grow. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying your very own fresh, plump tomatoes!

Care

The more water you give, the tastier your tomatoes will get. Make sure the soil always stays moist. Once it starts growing, your plant’s branches will need some extra support. Tie them to a rack or growing stick so they can easily grow upwards. If there are too many branches, prune the new ones every now and then. This will help your plant save enough energy to grow your tomatoes.

Placing

Tomatoes like sunshine, so place your plant in a sunny spot.

Propogation

Repot your plant after purchase. Most tomato plants are annual plants, so they won’t need any future repotting.
