What size pots for my toms?
« on: May 15, 2010, 20:36 »
Just a quick question about my tomato plants. I mentioned a few days ago about them not growing in hieght anymore after they had a very quick growth ( more than doubling in hieght in approx a week ).

Could the reason they arent growing anymore be because the pots they're in are too small? The plants are about 18 - 20inches tall and they are in 6" pots.

Thanks

M Clark

I would think so.  Get them into a larger container, preferably the final size one.
Cheese makes everything better.

What size would the final size ones be?

I remember my girlfriends dad growing tomatos in Cyprus, they were very tall with lots of fruit ( all down to the climate though ) but his were all in pots probably no bigger than 6-8".

I use at least 10" pots.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
