How to grow indoor tomatoes

Growing indoor plants is a hobby for many, many. Most people only see flowers or beautiful green plants as their pets. But growing all kinds of edible plants indoors is becoming increasingly popular. For example, it turns out that growing indoor tomatoes is not so difficult.

For the most part, growing indoor tomatoes attracts those who like to experiment by growing unusual plants at home. But besides the interest, growing homemade “tomatoes” also brings benefits - you can taste the tasty and healthy fruits without waiting for the summer heat.

Tomatoes love light and warmth. These two components can easily be provided to them at home. The house is warm, and additional lighting, if the daylight hours are still short, and you decide to surprise your family with fresh indoor tomatoes, can be provided with the help of fluorescent lamps.

Basically? Growing tomatoes at home is not much different from growing these fruits in open ground or a greenhouse. Naturally, there are some nuances, but observing them is not so difficult if you want to get a satisfactory result. For growing indoors, it is best to choose special dwarf varieties.

First, the seeds are planted either dry or already germinated in transparent plastic cups, in which it is convenient to control watering. Sprouted tomatoes should be watered only when the top layer of soil dries out, avoiding stagnation of water.After all, its excess will lead to the development of various diseases and death of the plant. After about four weeks, the grown plants are transplanted into pots.

Adult plants that live at home, just like their outdoor counterparts, need to be watered twice a week, fed with tomato fertilizers every 10 days, and regularly pinched and tied up. In addition, although tomatoes do not require special pollination, flowering plants can be shaken once every two to three days.
