What is the best way to care for these type of tomatoes? I have two in a gallon pot with Miracle Gro soil. Do I stake them, prune them? any help is appreciated, thanks. me.
A one gallon pot for a tomato plant is too small. I use a minimum of a 5 gallon pot and they're still root bound at season end. Even the best bush tomatos will need some staking as the stalk will not support the weight of the tomatos. If the plant is strongly branching, let it grow that way....if it has a strong leader and weak sideshoots/suckers, remove them. The best production will come from the strongest shoots. Miracle Gro soil is good, they also need lots of water, and in 1 month or so, start fertilizing every two weeks with a fertilizer for tomatos (like Miracle Gro for vegatables) Simon
