you may startle tomato plant from cuttings – here ’s how !
We have a adorable salad tomato plant mixed bag we go from seeds we got in an potpourri of tomato from the foodstuff stock .
That ’s right – we bought a little clamshell pack of tomatoes , squirted some of the cum out onto paper towel , then constitute them in flats . It ’s paid off , but all salutary matter must come to an ending . As the summer heat and rains beat down , we know these tomato plants are going to give up at some point . Yet all is not lost , because we can take tomato cuttings and root them so we can grow a whole novel round of tasty fruits for the fall .
Let ’s take cuttings and running !
Here are three ways to start tomato from cuttings and get fruit for a longer time of year .
root tomatoes in water is easy . Just take some tomato cuttings and take the bottom leaf and any bloom or untested fruit . Now pop them in water .
Wait a couple of weeks , then pot them up when they have root .
Feed and put them in a small sun , getting them used to the sunlight mean solar day - by - day .
Do you have a sprawling tomato plant ? you’re able to root love apple branches in the ground by bending them down and covering a piece of the stem with soil .
Weigh it down with a brick if need be .
Alternately , if you have moist conditions and territory and the weather is n’t too hot , you’re able to sometimes just take tomato plant cuttings and root them directly in the dry land , like this :
That often works in bedwetter climates . It was passing leisurely during the showery time of year in the Caribbean . Here in Alabama where the soil drain tight and they days get hotter , well , we ’ll see .
This method of rooting tomato cutting is almost foolproof . Just take your cutting and stick them in a heap of moist potting soil , then bulge them up and put them in the shade to root .
The baggie will help the tomatoes root by keeping them from dry out . A few weeks after bag , take off the handbag and adjust the potted tomatoes to full sunshine , then you’re able to embed them out . This also work out with rooting other cuttings .
