Sowing the seeds
The first step is sowing the seeds, which is crucial for a successful start. For this, you need a propagator with a transparent lid that maintains stable humidity and temperature. A good choice is the Seedling Set - Propagator and Pellets (90 pcs.) , which provides optimal conditions for germination. The seeds should be planted in special pellets or in well-enriched soil, and the temperature should be maintained between 20 and 25°C. It is important to keep the young plants in a bright place so that they do not stretch and weaken.
Transplanting into larger pots
When the seedlings reach about 10 cm in height and have at least two true leaves, it is time to transplant them into larger pots. This allows the root system to develop fully. Root!t – Rooting Gel (150ml) comes to the rescue here, which stimulates rapid and healthy root formation. Good soil is also key – Xpert Nutrients Microbial Mix 50L provides all the necessary nutrients for the young plants. The seedlings should be watered regularly, but without excessive moisture, and kept at a temperature of about 18-22°C.
Planting in the garden
Once the plants reach about 20-30 cm in height and the weather outside is steadily warm, it is time to plant them in the garden. Tomatoes love sunny places with well-drained soil. The distance between them should be about 40-50 cm to have enough space for development. For additional support of the root system, it is recommended to use Master Root Stimulator , which promotes growth and strengthens the plants. After planting, regular watering and providing a stable support are important, especially for tall tomato varieties.
Care and maintenance
Throughout the growth process, plants require special care. Fertilization is an essential part, with the best fertilizers being those that contain enough calcium and potassium to support flowering and fruiting. Regular pruning of excess leaves is also necessary to ensure good air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. Pests such as aphids and mites can also be a problem, so regular inspections and the use of biological insecticides are important for the health of the plants.
We recommend using Leaf Coat 500ml - an organic spray for vitality and stress protection, as it is an organic preparation and is suitable for edible plants. It contains natural latex, which covers the delicate parts of the plant with a thin film, thus protecting them from pests (molds, insects, etc.).
Harvesting and storage
When the tomatoes start to ripen, usually between 60 and 80 days after planting, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. Picking is done when the fruits are well-ripened but still firm. It is best to store them in a cool, airy place to keep them fresh longer.
Conclusion
Growing tomatoes can be extremely rewarding, especially when you have the right tools and knowledge. With the help of propagators , rooting gels , and enriched soil, you can grow healthy, tasty tomatoes. With a little patience and care, you'll enjoy a bountiful harvest of homegrown, flavorful tomatoes that taste like nothing you've ever bought at the store.
Happy gardening and a successful season from Growshop Mania !
