Use these important tips when growing cherry tomatoes in containers so you have healthy, productive plants.

1. Use as Big a Pot as You Can. If possible, use at least a 5-gallon container for growing cherry tomatoes.
2. Choose Varieties Wisely. Plants that produce medium- to smaller-sized fruit are easier to manage in containers than large fruited varieties.
3. Plant Plants, Not Seeds. Don’t sow seeds directly into your containers – germination and development will take too long. Plant tomato seedlings instead.
4. Let the Sun Shine. Set your cherry tomato containers where they can enjoy at least 6-8 hours of sun a day.
5. Be a Watering Vigilante. Monitor the soil moisture so your cherry tomato plants don’t dry out.
