Caring for a tomato plant properly can lead to a healthy, productive harvest. Here's a simple guide to help you grow strong and fruitful tomato plants.
Choose a sunny spot- tomatoes need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Space plants 18-24" apart to allow good air circulation.
TIP- Plant deep- bury 2/3 of the stem. Tomatoes grow roots along the buried stem for a stronger base.
Watering consistency is key. Water deeply and regularly, especially in dry conditions. About 1-2" per week, more during hot spells. Be sure to water at the base of the plant, not overhead, to avoid leaf diseases.
Fertilizer is very important. Start with a balanced fertilizer (example 10-10-10) when planting. Once the fruit sets, switch to a low-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage fruit foliage. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks, following product instructions.
Tomato plants require support or staking. Use cages, stakes or trellises to support plants as they grow. Tie gently with soft ties to prevent damage to stems.
When pruning, which is optional, remove suckers (small shoots between the main stem and branches) to direct energy to fruit production. This helps improve air circulation and reduce disease risk.
When harvesting, pick tomatoes when the green color transitions into orange. The tomato will continue to ripen indoors without losing any flavor. This helps reduce the risk of splitting, being eaten by animals or sunscald. Regular harvesting encourages more fruit production. Harvesting in the morning is best.
Watch for pests- aphids, hornworms, and whiteflies. Use natural remedies or insecticidal soap if needed. Prevent disease with good spacing, clean tools and avoiding wetting leaves.
