Growing tips

Tomatoes need warm temperatures between 20-25°C to germinate. After germination, keep in a cooler place (max. 20°C). Sowing before March can lead to a lack of light and poorer plant growth. When pricking out, plant deeper, up to the cotyledons, so that the plants can develop new roots. Harden off before planting out. Fertilize regularly and water evenly. Should be pinched out. Tie or fix the main shoot in particular, as it could otherwise break off due to the heavy fruit. A location protected from rain is advantageous. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and marigolds (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plants. (From Biogartenbedarf).
