Description: 50BI COLOR CHERRY TOMATO SEEDS Cultivation Guide for Bi-Color Cherry Tomato: 1. Planting Seeds: - Start by planting seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost in your area. - Use seed trays or small pots filled with well-draining soil. - Sow the seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep, and keep the soil consistently moist. - Place the trays or pots in a warm and sunny location, preferably near a south-facing window or under grow lights. - Once the seedlings have grown to a height of around 3-4 inches, they can be transplanted outdoors. 2. Transplanting Seedlings: - Choose a sunny location in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. - Prepare the soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure to enhance its fertility. - Dig holes that are large enough to accommodate the root ball of the seedlings. - Gently remove the seedlings from their containers and place them in the holes. - Backfill the holes with soil and pat it gently to ensure good soil-to-root contact. - Water the transplanted seedlings thoroughly after planting. 3. Care and Maintenance: - Water the plants regularly, ensuring that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. - Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to help conserve moisture and suppress weed growth. - Support the growing plants by staking or using cages as they tend to become heavy with fruits. - Remove any suckers (side shoots) that develop between the main stem and leaf branches to encourage stronger growth and higher fruit production. - Regularly inspect the plants for pests and diseases and take appropriate measures if any issues arise. 4. Harvesting: - Bi-color cherry tomatoes are typically ready for harvest around 65-75 days after transplanting. - Harvest the tomatoes when they have reached full coloration and are firm to touch. - Gently twist or cut the tomatoes from the vine to avoid damaging the plant. - Enjoy the delicious fruits immediately or store them in a cool place for a few days.
