It is most convenient to grow tomatoes of low-growing (dwarf) varieties on the windowsill, which allows you to save space and plant more bush plants. For example, cherry.
How to grow
Tomatoes can be successfully grown in a room on a windowsill for almost a year.
Tomatoes grow quickly. Flower buds, depending on which variety of tomatoes you choose, appear 40–50 days after germination, and flowering begins 20–25 days later.
Upon reaching one month of age, the seedlings can be transplanted to a permanent place, and by this time the plants should have from 4 to 6 true leaves.
How often should you water tomato seedlings on the windowsill
Water the emerging sprouts 4-5 days after removing the film.
You can use a spray bottle or a watering can with very fine mesh.
Spraying moisture prevents the soil from eroding, exposing plant roots.
Spray tomato seedlings 2 times a week, using only warm water.
How to feed tomatoes on the windowsill
To feed tomato seedlings on the windowsill, superphosphate and potassium sulfate are used, which, in addition to the main elements, are sources of iron, zinc, boron, manganese, nitrogen, sulfur, molybdenum, copper, calcium and sodium for the shoots.
Fertilizers are diluted in water according to the instructions on the package.
