Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Micro Tom tomatoes are compact, highly productive, and thrive both indoors and outdoors. They prefer warm temperatures, around 75-95 F, full sun, consistent moisture, and nutrient-rich soil.
When to Grow
Micro Tom tomatoes can be started indoors at any time of the year, making them ideal for year-round cultivation in climates with cold winters. For outdoor planting, begin seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last expected frost.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow Micro Tom tomato seeds 1/8 inch deep in a seed-starting mix. They germinate in about 7-14 days. Once seedlings develop true leaves, transplant them into individual pots with well-draining soil. Ensure each plant has a container with at least 4-6 inches in diameter for optimal growth.
How to Grow
Micro Tom tomatoes require 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, either from a bright window or under grow lights. Water every 2-3 days, ensuring soil remains moist but not waterlogged. They can use a balanced fertilizer every two weeks to support growth. Since they are determinate, minimal pruning is required, though removing lower leaves can improve air circulation.
How to Save
- Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
- On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
- For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
- Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
