Beschreibung

Cocktail tomatoes are small tomatoes that come in different colors, shapes and flavors. However, most often they are sweet and are excellent for snacking. If they belong to the vine tomatoes, unlike stick tomatoes, they have a determinate growth. So, they stop growing at some point. They also stay smaller overall, which makes them great for growing in pots on the balcony. Like their relatives, they are a sun-hungry and frost-sensitive nightshade crop. However, there are often differences in cultivation between varieties. Therefore, specific cultivation and care instructions for the respective variety should always be followed.

Anbautipps

Tomatoes require a lot of light, warmth, water and nutrients. They are grown from seed on the windowsill from March. The seedlings should be planted deep, up to the first leaf base, so that the root system is enlarged by additional lateral roots. Unlike most other crops, tomatoes should always be planted in the same place. Under-sowing with low-growing plants is a good option. - Watering tomatoes: Depending on whether you are pre-sowing or direct sowing tomatoes, and depending on the location and variety, you will need to water your tomato plants differently often. Tomatoes can develop very deep roots that can even draw water from the groundwater. In this case, you hardly need to water them, if at all. Pay attention to the leaves, if they hang limp you should water your tomato plants. The soil dries out more quickly, especially in pots, raised beds and raised beds, so you will need to water them more often.
