Cherry Tomato Plant

Cherry Tomato Plant gives small, sweet tomatoes that are perfect for salads or snacking straight off the vine, a rewarding option for anyone wanting to grow a little food at home. It comes in a 20cm pot.

It needs full sun, at least 6 hours a day, and does best during the cooler UAE months, from around October through April, when temperatures are more comfortable for fruiting.

Water it every 1 to 2 days, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially once the plant starts producing fruit. A small stake or support helps hold up the stems once the tomatoes start to weigh the branches down.
