When is the right time to sow potted tomatoes?

Suitable time for planting potted tomatoes

Potted tomatoes are small annual vines that mainly reproduce and develop through seeds. Generally, they will bloom two months after sowing, and then they will bear fruit, and then they will mature after a period of time.

Potted tomatoes are best grown in spring, and the best sowing month is mid-to-late March. At this time, the temperature reaches above 15 degrees Celsius, which can meet the germination needs of the seeds. The rainfall is moderate and there will be no excessive waterlogging. The young shoots can become stronger and stronger as the rainfall increases.

Potted tomato sowing method

1. Prepare the soil

Potted tomatoes prefer fertile and breathable soil. When preparing, you can use peat soil mixed with gravel, and then add an appropriate amount of decomposed and fermented organic matter to enhance fertility so that the plants can continuously absorb nutrients.

2. Sowing and watering

Then you can put the potted tomato seeds into the soil and pour in an appropriate amount of water to allow them to germinate smoothly, but be careful not to make the soil too waterlogged, otherwise it will easily cause the seeds to rot.

Tips and tricks for growing tomatoes in pots

1. Lighting

Potted tomatoes do not require much light. They can directly receive full sunlight and are basically not burned by the sun. However, extra protection should be paid to them during their infancy to avoid direct exposure to strong light that may burn the plants.

2. Moisture

Potted tomatoes require more water during the vigorous growth period and fruit ripening period. The rest of the time, just keep the soil moist. And when the sprouts just emerge, the amount of water should be reduced even more to avoid root breathing difficulties and root rot.
