Micro Tomato Seeds

About

Micro tomato seeds produce the smallest tomato plants in the catalog. They are bred for compact stature, short internodes, and small containers, but they still need strong light, drainage, pollination, and consistent moisture to produce a useful crop. A sunny window is often weaker than it appears. Indoors, use a strong grow light close enough to prevent stretching and provide gentle airflow. Outdoors, move seedlings gradually into direct sun. Even a micro tomato can stall when a small pot repeatedly dries to the point of wilting. Most micro tomatoes need little pruning. Remove only damaged foliage and provide a small stake if fruit load bends the plant. Harvest frequently to keep the compact canopy clean and productive. Micro tomatoes are excellent teaching crops because their full life cycle can be observed in limited space. They are also useful for patios and accessibility gardens where a full trellis is impractical.
