• Yellow Mini Tomato grows best at 20 - 35 °C / 68 - 95 °F.

• Tomatoes love the warmth and hate sudden temperature changes e.g. cool breeze. They do well in hot stable climates.

• After sprouting, decrease the number of plants to one per pod to ensure enough space for the plant to grow. You can find more info and a video about thinning here.

• Tomato doesn’t need that much care. You can pinch off any lower leaves which turn yellow.

• The small yellow blossoms need to be artificially pollinated. Gently shake your plant or use a clean paintbrush to move pollen from one blossom to the next. You can pollinate with your fingertip as well. You can find a guide to pollination here.

• Tomatoes need some time to ripen. During that time, plant care consists of cleaning the plant from its natural debris.

• It will take 80 to 110 days from planting the pod to harvesting ripe tomatoes.

• Once the tomatoes have ripened, the plant will start to degrade. The pod has fulfilled the purpose of its life - to produce fruits that contain its seeds.

• If your plant starts to bend because of its own weight, you can just stick a chopstick in the soil and support your plant with it. You can find a guide to staking here.
