Secrets of growing tomatoes at home

Growing tomatoes at home, that is, in small boxes and pots on the balcony or even on the windowsill, has recently become one of the most popular types of “indoor” gardening. And this is not surprising, because having acquired such a mini-garden, you can enjoy your own grown tomatoes, even without having a summer cottage or garden plot. And simple secrets of growing tomatoes indoors will help you get a truly rich harvest.

Of course, not all varieties of tomatoes are suitable for cultivation indoors and in a fairly limited space due to the impressive size of the bush. The best options for home cultivation are compact varieties of this crop, for example, Linda, Balcony Miracle, De Barao, White Naliv. This list can be continued for a very long time, and in almost every seed store there is a considerable number of similar varieties of tomatoes.

In addition, special attention should be paid to the placement of the “vegetable garden”. Tomatoes are extremely heat- and sun-loving plants, so it is best to place pots with them on windows or balconies that face south, which means they receive the most sunlight. Another extremely important condition for the normal development of plants is the correct temperature regime. The maximum yield of tomatoes can be obtained by growing them at a temperature of 20-25 degrees.It is also worth considering that this crop feels best in slightly acidic loamy or sandy loam soils. These are, perhaps, the main secrets of growing tomatoes, taking into account which you can get a good harvest from your mini-garden.
