How to Plant Cherry Tomato Seeds

Introduction of small tomato seeds

The seeds of cherry tomatoes develop from ovules. The egg cells in the ovules will be fertilized by the sperm in the pollen, and then develop into seeds. They grow in the fruit and can be spread by animals.

Tomato seed planting time

Vegetables such as cherry tomatoes are generally planted in spring or autumn, specifically from February to June or from August to October. The most suitable sowing temperature is 23-28℃, and they can be planted as long as the temperature is suitable.

How to plant small tomato seeds

1. Site selection and land preparation

Cherry tomatoes are best planted in fertile, loose soil with a high organic matter content. Before planting, the soil should be deeply plowed and prepared, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer should be added.

2. Planting and germination

The seeds need to be germinated before sowing. Soak them in potassium permanganate solution for about 10 minutes. After cleaning, wrap them with gauze and wait for the seeds to turn white.

3. Sowing

Evenly spread the germinated tomato seeds on the soil, then cover them with a thin layer of nutrient soil. If the temperature is too low at night, you can also cover them with a layer of straw to keep warm and moist.
