Tomate Cereja Care

Solanum Lycopersicum Var. Cerasiforme

What is the plant

The cherry tomato is a type of small round tomato believed to be an intermediate genetic admixture between wild currant-type tomatoes and domesticated garden tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes range in size from a thumbtip up to the size of a golf ball, and can range from spherical to slightly oblong in shape. Although usually red, other colours such as yellow, green, and black also exist. Those shaped like an oblong share characteristics with plum tomatoes and are known as grape tomatoes. The cherry tomato is regarded as a botanical variety of the cultivated berry, Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
The key is to make sure you are giving the plant abundant water every few days rather than a little bit of water every day.” “Six to eight hours of sun is all a tomato plant needs so shade accordingly,” advises tomato expert Scott Daigre. “Don't expect too much from your plants
Pruning
In traditional tomato cultivation, we cut, what is often called the "suckers", to stimulate the growth of the plant and the formation of the fruits. - Nowadays, many gardeners no longer resort to this trimming, particularly guilty of making the plant susceptible to diseases.
Fertilizer
Choose a fertilizer that has a balanced ratio of the three major elements, such as 10-10-10, or where the middle number (phosphorus) is larger than the first number (nitrogen), such as 2-3-1. Tomatoes are heavy feeders and usually do need fertilizer unless your soil is very rich.
