Cherry tomatoes are much tastier than regular vegetables. In addition, cherry tomatoes are rich in nutrients and vitamins.

How to grow cherry tomatoes in containers

Balcony cherry tomatoes are medium-sized plants with a small root system; in room conditions, they grow well in ordinary flower pots.

Pots should be deep and round, with a volume of at least 0.7 gallons. Natural material is preferred - ceramics, but plastic can also be used.

It is not advisable to use pots, the shape of which resembles a rectangle or square. And after the containers are selected, it is necessary to fill them with nutrient soil.

A southern or eastern window sill is perfect for placement, as the plant loves light very much.

It is important that there is a hole at their bottom that allows water to drain and a drainage layer, for example, from expanded clay. You also need to take care of the supports for garter tomatoes.

After 80 - 90 days from the emergence of seedlings, the bushes begin to bear fruit. Branches with + -20 fruits grow from the stem, which ripen almost simultaneously. You can collect them both individually, and immediately with a twig-brush, depending on the characteristics of the variety.
