Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Place in full sun with at least 6–8 hours of direct light daily. Use rich, well-draining soil and a container with drainage holes. Plant after frost danger has passed, and provide a small cage if branches become heavy with fruit.
2. Watering: Water deeply whenever the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep moisture consistent, especially during flowering and fruit development, but avoid leaving the roots in soggy soil.
3. Pruning: Little pruning is needed because this is a determinate variety. Remove yellow or damaged lower leaves and any foliage touching the soil, but avoid heavy pruning that could reduce the harvest.
4. Fertilizing: Mix compost or a balanced slow-release fertilizer into the soil at planting. Once flowers appear, use a tomato fertilizer according to label directions, avoiding excess nitrogen that can encourage leaves instead of fruit.
