Beefsteak Tomatoes Care

Watering beefsteak tomatoes water your tomatoes regularly if they receive less than 2.5 cm or one inch of rainwater per week. For best results, water in a morning and close to a ground. Provide more water once fruits start to form.

By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier-looking houseplant.

About 6 hours of direct sunlight is optimal for plant growth and development.

Rich, well-draining soil.

Temperatures should be warm when you plant tomatoes – ideally, at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit and no colder than 55 degrees.

Here’s a handy guideline: increase pot size by 2.5-5 cm (1 to 2 inches) in diameter for plants that are growing in pots 25.4 cm (10 inches) in diameter or less. For larger plants, those growing in pots greater than 10 inches in diameter, increase the pot size by 5 or 7.62 cm (2 or 3 inches) in diameter.

Beefsteak tomatoes, aptly named for their large size and meaty texture, have a classic tomato flavor, however, depending upon the variety, they can also be sweet to the taste. They are heavy, reaching weights as high as four pounds, and they range in color from pink, to vibrant red, to orange.
