Cherry tomatoes are distinguished by the special sweetness of the fruit and the miniature size of the plant.
How to grow cherry tomatoes
For growing cherry tomatoes choose a place in the garden that receives plenty of sunlight to grow cherry tomatoes.
These plants love warmth and light.
You can grow cherry tomatoes outdoors, outdoor containers, or indoors.
The vegetable's growing needs are similar to those of regular tomatoes.
Select an area that receives at least six to eight hours of sunlight per day.
The soil for growing tomatoes is well-drained, moist and slightly acidic.
Loams and sandy loam soils are well suited for this vegetable.
However, tomatoes will grow in almost all types of soil, with the exception of heavy clay.
Therefore, if your garden has a lot of clay, improve the soil by adding sand, sawdust, peat moss or other materials that will improve the quality.
In addition, use tomato fertilizers when planting vegetables.
It is also important to fertilize regularly for normal plant growth.
Watering cherry tomatoes
Tomatoes need constant soil moisture.
This is why it is so important to maintain constant soil moisture.
However, you should not flood the plant, as this can lead to rotting of the roots.
Tomatoes typically require 1 to 2 inches of water per week, but this can vary depending on weather conditions and plant size.
When plants are young, it is best to use drip irrigation as it helps avoid strong flows of water that can erode the soil.
