2. Start Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or purchase grafted seedlings for transplanting.
3. Support the Plant: Use cages or stakes to support the plant, as grafted tomatoes may produce heavy yields that require extra support.
4. Water Consistently: Water deeply and consistently, particularly during flowering and fruiting stages, but ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
