Full sun (6-8 hours). If growing in a hot climate, partial shade during the afternoon helps to protect it from sunburn.

Keep your tomato consistently moist in well-draining soil.

This plant is fine in medium humidity.

Add an organic tomato fertilizer rich in calcium to help prevent bottom-end rot and then apply every two weeks during the growing season. The organic fertilizer should be low in nitrogen, like a 3-4-6 mixture to promote flower and fruit growth. Be careful not to touch the foliage with the fertilizer.

To transplant into a garden container or the garden bed, water your plant the night before. Since your plant has been in a box without light or water, it may have some yellowing leaves or show some wilt. If the soil is dry, water the plant and put her in bright, indirect light for a couple of days. When the temperatures are consistently at 60°F at night, you can transition your plant slowly to more direct sunlight. For one to two weeks, start in the morning hours and gradually give it more direct sunshine each day. After increasing the time, each day should acclimate to the full sun for 6-8 hours per day.
Next, dig the hole twice as wide as the grower pot and the same depth as the grower pot (not deeper). Remove the plant and center in the spot. Add rooting hormone around the roots of the plant. Water in the hole and let drain. If you have clay or poor soils, add compost and manure to enhance the soil consistency. Fill around the plant and up to the top of its soil line. Tamp down with your hands to remove any air pockets. Water again around the drip line, careful not to soak the leaves to help prevent fungus. Keep the soil moist like a wrung-out sponge but not soggy to promote healthy root growth. Provide a cage or trellis for the vines to hang upon. Mulch around the base of the plant to help safeguard against soil splash and help prevent weeds.

Prune your tomato plant by removing suckers around the base of the plant. Leave four to five fruiting branches and trim the rest off to manage and produce larger fruit.

To propagate this plant during the growing season:
Take a 3-4 inch sucker stem cutting at the base of the plant.
Place the stems in rooting hormone and place the stem down into the rooting medium.
Tamp the soil around the stem gently and mist the soil.
Check the moisture of the soil each day.
Place the cuttings in bright, indirect light.
After the roots are six weeks old, they should be ready to transfer into the garden or container garden in full sun. Transition the cuttings a few hours per day to help them acclimate to the new environment.
