How to Grow and Care for Waterfall Tomato Seeds
Planting:
- When to Plant: Start your seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost when the soil has warmed to 60°F (15°C).
- Spacing: Space plants about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to give them room to grow. For hanging baskets or containers, plant 1-2 seeds per container depending on size.
- Soil: Choose well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A pH level of 6.0-6.8 is ideal for tomato plants.
- Sunlight: Waterfall tomato plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth and fruit production.
Growth Conditions:
- Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Tomatoes need regular watering, especially during dry periods. Water at the base of the plant to prevent wetting the leaves.
- Temperature: Ideal temperatures for growing tomatoes range from 70°F to 85°F (21°C-29°C). These plants prefer warm temperatures, so plant them after the last frost when the weather is reliably warm.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Care:
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth, especially during the early stages of development. Once fruit starts to form, reduce the use of high-nitrogen fertilizers to avoid excessive foliage growth.
- Pruning: Regularly prune any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy. Trim excess growth to allow better airflow and sunlight penetration.
- Support: While Waterfall tomatoes are naturally compact, providing a trellis or support structure can help the cascading growth and prevent the branches from breaking under the weight of the tomatoes.
Harvesting:
- Waterfall tomatoes are typically ready for harvest 65-80 days after transplanting, depending on growing conditions.
- Pick the tomatoes when they are fully ripe, with a deep red color and slightly soft texture. For best flavor, harvest tomatoes in the morning when temperatures are cooler.
- If you have a large yield, you can also harvest tomatoes when they are still slightly firm and allow them to ripen off the vine at room temperature.
