I bought a tomato plant, presently what? I've never had a plant of my own, believe it or not....
I've never had a plant of my own, believe it or not. Today I got a quad tomato plant from a k-mart and some of the leaves are kind of looking dead but in attendance are a lot of mini tomatoes on it. How often should I wet it, how much sun should I give it, and what kind of soil is best/how recurrently do you replace it?
thanks
I'm not sure about a quad tomato plant, but I dug a large hole in the ground & chock-full it with MIracle Grow Garden Soil, made sure that it was contained by a sunny spot (mostly afternoon sun), put a cage around it (you can find them at most any garden dept) so that when it gets high-ceilinged it won't fall over...then basically water it about every other daytime, and watch for pests. I hope this helps. Unless you are transplanting it into a larger container, you dont replace the soil. Keep it surrounded by the sun 6-7 hours a day and water it when it requirements it (use finger test)
If you have a place to plant it, dig a hole that is to say bigger than the pot. Add some potting soil to the hole, or something like fertilizer. Tap the pot, remove the plant, and put it in the hole, tally water until the roots are very damp. You can also loosen the roots with your hand or stroke them with a small shovel. Cover the roots, and pinch off the deceased leaves. Tomatoes need lots of sun so put them in a spot that get sun most of the day. If you can't put them in the ground you may want to follow these same directions but make a payment the plant to a larger pot. Keep your tomatoes watered very well (I other water once each day) and they will grow merrily. it's ironic that i came upon this question because i begin to work at a K-Mart Garden Shop. based on my observations around the K-Mart i work at, chances are the plant be dehydrated when you bought it because K-Mart employees despise to water. so be sure to water it particularly well for the first few days. keep it contained by the sun and buy a tomato cage for it when it gets bigger. buy a proper size pot for it and transplant it into the pot beside miracle gro garden flower and vegetable potting soil. there you go. relish your new tomato plant
Answers: tomato should got plenty of sunshine and weighty rooted water routinely (3 times a week). If your mini tomato has be ripen, then you got to pick them up until the ending one and cut the whole fruit truss.
also you need to make a payment some furtilizer in this stage.
Remeber deep rooted river... that means you need slower sea their root or you could put a little hose by the side of the plant and pour water slowly to tolerate water to sip down very vast.
water it once a day and tender it lots of sun. leave it alone
