Ensure seeds are kept at a consistent warm temperature (around 20-25°C) and the compost is kept moist but not waterlogged. Try using fresh seed if the packet is old.
This often indicates insufficient light. Move seedlings to a brighter location or provide supplemental grow lights. Ensure they are not overcrowded.
Check for adequate sunlight (at least 6-8 hours daily). Ensure consistent watering and consider feeding with a balanced fertilizer, switching to a high-potash feed as flowering begins.
This can be due to temperature fluctuations or inconsistent watering. Maintain stable conditions and ensure adequate pollination, which can be aided by gentle shaking of the plant or attracting beneficial insects.
To get started with your 'Cherry Baby' tomato seeds, sow them indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a good quality seed compost and keep them moist and warm. Once the seedlings have developed their first true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, they can be transplanted outdoors or into larger pots. Ensure a sunny position with well-drained soil. For container growing, use pots at least 30cm (12 inches) in diameter. As the plants grow, they will require support such as stakes, cages, or string trellising to manage the heavy fruit load and prevent stems from breaking. Water consistently, especially during dry periods, and feed with a tomato-specific fertilizer regularly once the fruits begin to form. Compatibility is high with most garden soils and compost mixes, and they are well-suited for greenhouse cultivation. Regular watering and feeding are key to care.
