What do you think of so many introductions? If you can also grow a pot of cherry tomatoes on your balcony, you must be happy in your heart, right? The following editor will introduce the planting method of balcony cherry tomato for you. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to grow cherry potted plants.

1. Prepare seeds

First of all, we have to go to the market to buy cherry tomatoes, cut them open after buying them, take out the seeds and put them aside to dry to make seeds. But only if you buy authentic cherry tomatoes that have not been crossed.

2. Seed preservation

After the seeds have dried, store them in a glass bottle. If it's not sowing season and you want to keep the seeds, you need to pour out the seeds in the glass bottle and clean them, and then dry them again. Sun-dried seeds are more suitable for long-term preservation.

3. Preparation for sowing

When it was time for cherry tomato sowing season, we took the previously stored dried seeds out of the glass bottle and soaked them in clear warm water of about 35 degrees Celsius for hours. After soaking for about 3-5 hours, we can pick it up and sow it.

4. Sowing and cultivation

As the seeds are soaked and germinated, the seeds become slightly full or inflated. Then take out the seeds and sprinkle them on the soaked paper towels, then put the paper towels together with the seeds in a plastic bag and place them in a dark and warm place for about a week. A week later, it can be found that the seeds have sprouted and spit leaves, and then they can be transplanted into the bowl. Then cover a layer of moist shallow soil and place it in a sunny and ventilated place.

5. Seedling nursing

As long as potted plants are given a good growth environment, cherry tomatoes will grow at an astonishing rate. During seedling raising, in addition to keeping sunny, but also appropriate watering to keep the soil moist, but not stagnant water, the temperature is controlled above 18 degrees Celsius. When the seedlings grow too dense, we need to plant them between seedlings, so before the pot suggested that one seedling should be implanted in each pot.

6. Turn the basin and change the soil

When the cherry tomato seedlings grow many leaves, we can turn the pot and change the soil for it. At this time, we need to prepare a larger flowerpot for it. When transplanting, bring as much lodging soil as possible. Put enough organic fertilizer at the bottom of the new pot, and then put in the plant. After about three months of maintenance, you can increase the efforts of topdressing.

7. Pruning

In the process of maintenance and management of cherry tomato, in addition to normal water and fertilizer management, we should also prune the side branches properly. For adult plants, in addition to scaffolding, in order to prevent excessive growth, they should also be topped in time to control their appearance.

I believe that as long as we cultivate carefully and manage carefully, your potted cherry tomatoes will certainly bloom beautiful flowers on time and produce fragrant and attractive fruits.
