Fatty Seeds – Cherry Tomato
Cherry Tomato is a popular fruiting plant known for its small, juicy fruits and naturally sweet, slightly tangy flavour. Commonly enjoyed fresh in salads, sandwiches, pasta and other dishes, it adds a refreshing taste and vibrant colour to everyday meals. Suitable for growing in large pots or garden beds, Cherry Tomato is a rewarding choice for home gardening.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Sow the seeds in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, approximately 0.5cm deep. Transplant the seedlings once they develop 4–5 true leaves, spacing the plants approximately 40–60cm apart. Provide a sturdy stake, cage or trellis to support the growing stems and fruit.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 5–12 days, and the tomatoes can be ready for harvesting in approximately 75–105 days from sowing, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvest when the fruits have developed their mature colour and are firm but slightly tender.
-
Cherry Tomato grows best in full sunlight, preferably receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In Singapore's warm climate, ensure good air circulation and protect the plants from excessive rain. Water regularly at the base of the plant to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
