How to Care for the Plant
Water
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.
Pruning
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.
Fertilizer
Feed a plant with a liquid fertilizer designed for flowering plants

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.
