You should choose a sunny spot to place the plants. Place tomato plants in a site receiving full sun (7 hours or more daily) Tomatoes need lots of warm sunshine to taste good.


Bury about 75% of the plant. It’s okay to bury some of its leaves. New roots will emerge along the buried stem, giving the plant a development boost; a new transplant needs to focus on root production.


You will need to give each plant about 2 gallons (about 7.5 liters) per plant per week.


Shake your plants gently once or twice each week for about 5 seconds once flowering begins. According to the National Gardening Association, shaking the tomato plant increases fruit production.


fruit to appear 45 to 90 days after transplanting. Tomato plants usually have small green fruit to start. Wait until the fruit is of good size with a bright, deep coloring. This means that the fruit is ripe and ready to pick. The texture of the fruit can also determine if it is ready to pick. Ripeness is usually determined by a slight softness. Be careful not to squeeze too hard and bruise the fruit. Also, be careful of allowing it to become overly ripe, which results in a very soft tomato.


Hope this helps, I have 4 planted at home, and we just love having them!


Goodluck!
Reply:The more sun the better and bigger the tomato.
Reply:It needs lots of sun, and tomato fertilizer and a much bigger pot than you bought it in.


If you can, plant it in the ground in a place that gets sunshine at least 1/2 the day, and water it every day.





Depending on tomato type, 45 days to 80 days to get eatable tomato
