Growing tips

For outdoor planting, we recommend replanting in rich, well-drained soil, leaving 50 cm between plants. For best results, water generously when planting. Before planting tomatoes in the ground or in pots, it's best to expose them outdoors for 4 to 7 days to acclimatize them to outdoor conditions.

How to avoid tomato diseases?

To limit the risk of fungal diseases, particularly mildew, it's important not to over-water and not to wet the leaves or flowers. By mulching tomato plants, you can conserve soil moisture. Solanaceae need light and warmth for their production. In cooler areas, they are best grown under cover, with regular watering adapted to the soil's characteristics.
