How do potted Little Tomato Seeds grow and bloom

Small tomato, this is a lot of people are super like, they can also grow small tomato at home, potted small tomato seeds how to grow? How tall does the baby tomato grow before it blossoms:

1. Get the seeds ready

If you can buy organic cherry tomatoes, and not the kind of small tomatoes that have been crossed many times, it is not difficult to grow mature tomatoes to breed. Cut the small tomato and take out the small seeds, which can be kept fresh in a glass jar.

2. Preservation and sowing preparation

If you want to keep the tomato seeds, let the tomato seeds ferment in a glass jar for a few days, then pour them into a sieve to wash the seeds and remove all the pulp.

If you want to sow the seeds immediately, you can soak the seeds in warm water of 35 degrees for 3-4 hours, and then you can prepare for sowing.

3. Sowing and raising seedlings

After soaking the seeds in clean water, prepare a wet kitchen tissue, then sprinkle the seeds, put them in a plastic bag, and finally leave them in a warm and dark place for a week.

A week later, the seeds have germinated, and at this time the seeds can be transplanted into the soil, properly covered with a thin layer of soil, slightly moist, and kept warm, ventilated and well-lit.

4. Seedling maintenance

Keep the sun adequate, the ambient temperature above 18 degrees, the soil slightly moist without stagnant water, its growth rate will be very fast, seedlings grow too dense to appropriate seedlings, you can also use seedling basin maintenance, each small box to maintain one.

5. Late maintenance

When the seedlings of small tomatoes grow to 4 pieces, they can be transplanted into larger pots, transplanting with soil, and keep enough sunlight for growth and cultivation, with more than 6 hours of light every day.

Transplanting soil can add sufficient mature organic fertilizer to the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer, and start to apply thin fertilizer frequently after three months of maintenance, and pay attention to pruning too many branches in the process of maintenance.

6. Pruning and blooming and fruiting

Adult cherry tomatoes can grow to more than one meter tall, can set up shelves to let them grow, and can pinch the top and control the plant type when they are tall enough.

If you want small tomatoes to blossom and bear fruit, in addition to sufficient water and sunshine, you also need to apply thin fertilizer frequently, plus proper pruning, in order to have nutritious blossom and fruit.

This is the end of the method of planting potted tomatoes. Plant them on your own balcony.

Planting skills of potted Tomato

In fact, all tomato varieties can be potted, but indoor planting tomatoes need human pollination or flower potion to increase the fruit setting rate. It can be said that no matter what variety, the basic planting method is the same, and the planting difficulty is the same.

Seed soaking and sprouting: soak at 30 degrees for 3-4 hours. Stir the seed several times, reach the seed in your hand, touch the seed without slippery, cover it with wet gauze and accelerate germination at a temperature of 25-30 degrees Celsius. After about 12-18 hours, there are 2 canister 3 seeds sown when they are exposed, and the best thickness of the cover is 5 mm. The substrate is best to use seedling soil or seedling block. Monsignor Chow will sprout. Tomato has a strong adaptability to temperature and can develop at a temperature of 10-30 degrees Celsius. There are certain differences in temperature requirements at different growth stages. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 25-30 degrees Celsius, the lowest temperature for sprouting is 15 degrees Celsius, and the optimum temperature for seedling stage is 20-25 degrees Celsius during daytime and 10-15 degrees Celsius at night. Basically, it can be planted indoors at 04:00 if the premise is right. After sprouting, need to transplant, small vegetable garden planting had better put on the shelf, balcony potted plant can be properly trimmed, top. It's that simple, you can plant tomatoes.

Planting skills:

The development and development process of tomato is from seed sprouting and rooting, seedling emergence, cotyledon opening, true leaf appearance, seedling stem, leaf and root elongation, flower bud differentiation, flower organ formation, flowering, pollination, fertilization, fruit development and seed formation, fruit and seed maturation. The whole growth process is divided into budding stage, seedling stage, flowering and fruiting stage and fruiting stage.

The budding stage is from the beginning of the seed germination to the broken heart, that is, the first true leaf. It takes 7-9 days at normal temperature. The water absorption of tomato seeds goes through two processes. In the first stage, the water absorption speed is fast. Under the premise of water temperature of 20-30 degrees Celsius, about half an hour can receive 35% of the seed dry weight, and 2 hours can reach 60%-65% of the seed dry weight; the water absorption speed of the tomato seed is slow, and it can receive 25% of your seed dry weight in about 5-6 hours, which is close to saturation. After absorbing enough water, after about 36 hours or more at 25 degrees Celsius (if your temperature is low), you can see that the white radicle develops. After another 3-5 days, the radicle can reach 4-6 cm. And lateral roots can be seen in the upper part of the radicle. 5-7 days after budding, cotyledons start to leave the seed coat and protrude the soil. The whole young plant will soon transition from heterotrophic (receiving nutrition from the seed itself) to autotrophic (nutrition produced by its own photosynthesis). Growth morphology of seedlings at budding stage: normal seedlings: cotyledons are broad and flat, leaf veins are thick and raised, brilliant new green, Hypocotyl is about 3 cm long. Here are the mistakes that novices are most likely to make. Potted tomato planting method many friends consult Lao Zhang and want to plant tomatoes in the garden and vegetable garden at home, and some want to plant potted tomatoes on the balcony. In fact, all kinds of tomatoes can be potted. However, indoor tomato cultivation requires artificial pollination or flowers with a little flower potion to improve the fruit setting rate. It can be said that no matter what variety, the basic planting method is exactly the same, and the planting difficulty is the same. The following is a brief introduction. First of all, soak seeds and accelerate budding: soak at about 30 degrees for 3-4 hours. Stir several times to reach the seed in the hand, touch the seed without slippery, cover it with wet gauze and accelerate germination at 25-30 ℃. After about 12-18 hours, there are 2 bumps and 3 seeds sown when they are white. The best thickness of covering soil is about 5 mm. The substrate is best to use seedling soil or seedling block. It usually sprouts in about a week. Tomato has a strong adaptability to temperature and can grow at a temperature of 10-30 ℃. There are some differences in temperature requirements at different growth stages. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 25-30 ℃, and the lowest temperature for germination is 15 ℃. The optimum temperature for seedling stage is 20-25 ℃ in daytime and 10-15 ℃ at night. Basically indoors, if the conditions are right, the four seasons can be planted. After sprouting, need to transplant, small vegetable garden planting had better set up a shelf, balcony potted plants can be properly trimmed, topped. It's as simple as that, you can grow tomatoes. Here are some detailed planting techniques: the growth and development process of tomato is from seed germination and rooting, emergence, cotyledon expansion, true leaf appearance, seedling stem and root elongation, flower bud differentiation, flower organ formation, flowering, pollination, fertilization, fruit development and seed formation, fruit and seed ripening. Generally speaking, the whole growth process is divided into germination stage, seedling stage, flowering and fruiting stage and fruiting stage. The main results are as follows: 1. the germination period starts from the seed germination to the broken heart, that is, the heart of the first true leaf. It takes 7-9 days under normal temperature. The water absorption of tomato seeds goes through two processes. In the first stage, the water absorption rate is fast. At the water temperature of 20-30 ℃, about 35% of the dry weight of the seed can be absorbed in about half an hour, and up to 60% of the dry weight of the seed in 2 hours. In the second stage, the water absorption rate is slow, and it takes about 5-6 hours to absorb about 25% of the dry weight of the seed and close to saturation. After absorbing enough water, after about 36 hours or more at 25 ℃ (if your ambient temperature is low), you can see a white radicle growing out. After 3-5 days, the radicle can reach 4-6 cm, and lateral roots can be seen in the upper part of the radicle. 5-7 days after germination, cotyledons begin to break away from the seed coat and protrude from the soil. The whole young plant will soon transition from heterotrophic mode (absorbing seed nutrition) to autotrophic mode (nutrition produced by self-photosynthesis). Growth morphology of seedlings in germination stage: normal seedlings: cotyledons are broad and spreading, leaf veins are stout and raised, the color is new green, and the Hypocotyl is about 3 cm long. Here are the most common mistakes made by novice growers. Only long seedlings: cotyledons slender, Hypocotyl slender more than 3.5-4 cm. Reason: high temperature, especially high night temperature, or lack of light, nutrient soil humidity is too high. Hooded seedlings: soil hardening, insufficient sowing cover or excessive dryness. Ossified seedlings: Hypocotyl is too short, cotyledons are small. Low temperature and drought inhibit growth. 2. From the first true leaf to the first inflorescence, there are large buds in the seedling stage. It usually takes 40-50 days. After seed germination, the root system grows very fast, and the main root of the seedling can reach 40-50 cm after 20-30 days of germination, and a large number of lateral roots are formed. The seedling stage can be divided into two stages: one is the basic vegetative growth stage, which refers to the vegetative growth before 2-3 true leaves, that is, before flower bud differentiation begins. This stage lays the foundation for flower bud differentiation and further vegetative growth. The second is the stage of flower bud differentiation and development, which refers to the beginning of flower bud differentiation with 2-3 true leaves 25-30 days after sowing, when vegetative growth and reproductive growth take place at the same time. The amount of nutrients accumulated by photosynthesis directly affects the quality of flower bud differentiation. The main direction of seedling stage is to promote the healthy growth of seedlings and the normal differentiation of flower buds. It takes about 30 days from flower bud differentiation to flowering. The growth morphology of seedlings at seedling stage (8-9 leaves): normal seedlings: the root system is well developed, the number of lateral roots is large, the internodes are compact, the stem is uniform, and the bud of the first inflorescence has appeared. Growing seedlings: the stem is thicker and thicker, the root system is smaller, the petiole of the upper leaf is longer, the Internode is significantly elongated, the stem of the seedling becomes thinner, the leaf becomes thinner, and the leaf color is yellowish green. The reasons for growing seedlings are: high night temperature, high humidity and too much nitrogen fertilizer. Aging seedlings: the root system is underdeveloped, the leaf color is dark green, the internodes are short, and the seedlings are in a state of growth inhibition. The true leaves are small, black-green or purple-green. The reason is the low temperature in the seedling stage. The true leaves are small and grayish yellow. The soil is dry or lack of fertilizer. The leaves are yellow, the leaves are wrinkled, the seedlings are short, and the roots become rusty. Too much fertilizer or too much salt in the soil. The leaves are yellowish and the leaves are upright. There is not enough light. Stem diameter is an index to judge the vegetative growth of seedlings: the stem diameter standard of the first anecdote differentiation is 2 mm, the stem diameter standard of the second inflorescence is 4-5 mm, and the third inflorescence is required to reach 7-8 mm. The sign of survival during the planting period: there are water droplets at the leaf tip in the morning, the top is green, yellow and tender, and there are hairs growing near the growing point. 3. The flowering and fruiting period is from the end of the seedling stage to the flowering and fruiting of the first inflorescence. The largest young fruit is 0.5-1.0 cm in diameter. This period is the transition from vegetative growth of roots, stems and leaves to parallel reproductive growth, and it is the most important period of tomato production and management. Generally, squatting seedlings are adopted according to the requirements of different varieties, that is, to achieve a more coordinated balance between vegetative growth and reproductive growth through the regulation of fertilizer and water. Generally, the temperature is controlled at 20-30 ℃ in daytime, 15-20 ℃ at night, lower than 15 ℃ or higher than 35 ℃ is not conducive to flowering, pollination and fruit setting. The main direction of this period is to promote and accelerate seedling slowing down, promote root growth, expand leaf area, improve photosynthetic capacity, control flower and fruit drop, improve fruit setting rate, balance and coordinate the relationship between seedlings and fruits, so as to achieve the goal of early maturity and high yield. The growth morphology of the flowering and fruiting stage: (1) the position of the normal inflorescence is about 20 cm from the top of the plant; there are budding inflorescences and developing inflorescences above the flowering inflorescences; the inflorescences grow compact and the pedicels are thick and strong; the open flowers are hypertrophy and the flower color is thick and bright. Inflorescence: irregular flowering, often large flower organs and ovary, petal color thick yellow. Aging inflorescence: delayed flowering, small flower organs, yellowish petals, small ovary. Normal flowers: the same inflorescence blossoms neatly, the flower organ is medium size, the petals are yellow, and the ovary is moderate in size. Weak flowers: thin buds and slender pedicels due to high temperature, lack of light, or lack of nutrition. (2) the normal plant stem is uniform and appropriate, the Internode length increases gradually from the bottom up, each leaflet is larger, slightly palmate, the leaf body is large, the leaf vein is clear, the leaf apex is pointed, and the normal plant is tower-shaped after the fruit expansion stage; the growing point and the elongated leaves below form an approximate equilateral triangle. (3) in the vegetative growth morphology, the upper stem is thicker, the apical tender leaves are curved, the terminal buds and the lower new leaves form an unequilateral triangle, and the leaflet petiole is longer. (4) in the extreme reproductive growth form, the flowering node moved up to the top, the stem and fine leaves were small, and the top of the plant was horizontal, which was due to low temperature drying and lack of fertilizer. (5) the appearance of new leaves or new leaves at the top of the inflorescence is due to high temperature, low temperature, dryness and excessive nitrogen fertilizer. 4. the fruiting period of tomato is from setting fruit in the first ear to pulling seedlings. In this period, it is necessary to ensure adequate fertilizer and water supply, timely removal of lateral branches, timely coring, and appropriate fruit thinning to ensure a reasonable flow of nutrients. The main objectives are: timely plant adjustment, reduce nutrient consumption, strengthen fertilizer and water management, promote fruit growth, timely prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, timely harvest. The phenomenon of excessive growth: if the stem is thick, the Internode is long, the flowering node is low, it is caused by more water, more fertilizer, less light and so on, the fruit is deformed and hollow, and the fruit grows slowly. If the leaves are large and thin, the internodes are long and the stems are thin, it is the phenomenon of overgrowth caused by too high room temperature. When the plant growth is too prosperous, the bottom light is insufficient, and the density is too high, the first-2 inflorescences are easy to drop flowers and fruits. If the flowering node moves upward, close to the top, the stem is thin, and the top of the plant is horizontal, indicating that the tip elongation is inhibited, mostly caused by low night temperature, dry soil, lack of fertilizer or too much fruit, such plants are easy to fruit. The apical yellow flower and necrosis are caused by boron deficiency and calcium deficiency. If the leaves are black-green or purplish green, the leaves are small, the plants are short, the internodes are short, and the drop of flowers and fruits is serious, which is due to the low temperature in the greenhouse. The leaves are small, yellow and wrinkled, and the short plants are caused by excessive fertilization and root burning. The plant grows vigorously and there are yellow rust spots on the leaves, which is caused by too much nitrogen fertilizer. 5. Tomato fruit ripening period (1) during the green fruit stage (green fruit stage), the fruit has grown fully, the volume of the fruit has stopped expanding, the number and volume of cells no longer increase, the physiological activities of the fruit are all material transformation, the fruit color changes from green to white, and the seed development is basically completed. with germination and production capacity. Tomatoes that are generally shipped, sold or stored over long distances should be harvested during this period. (2) during the color conversion period (red line stage), the top of the fruit was gradually colored, reaching 1 to 4 of the whole fruit, and it could be all colored at the appropriate temperature for 1-2 days after harvest. Generally speaking, when the distance from the place of origin to the market is relatively close, it should be harvested in this period. (3) during the ripening period (edible or commodity period), the fruit has shown the unique color of the variety, high nutritional value and good flavor, so it is suitable for storage and transportation when eaten raw. Generally, it can be picked and sold nearby before it can be harvested in this period. (4) in the late ripening stage, the fruit turns red or yellow, the flesh becomes soft, the sugar content is very high, and it can be eaten raw, but it is not resistant to transportation, so it is difficult to be used as a commodity. Generally, seeds can only be harvested at this time. Noun explanation: topping: because the tomato plant hangs fruit while growing, if it is not topped, it can indeed make the tomato plant grow tall, but it will transport all the nutrients to the top to supply the growth of the terminal bud, thus weakening the nutrient accumulation of the fruit. For the topping of tomato, it is only for the type of infinite growth, but not for the type of limited growth. In the process of cultivating tomato, it is also necessary to remove the lateral buds to prevent the plant from growing too dense.
