How to fertilize Cherry Tomato
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cherry Tomato after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Time for a vote Should I quit plants? #Vote I’ve been noticing that my strawberry plants would hate me so much so I might be quitting because I can buy a whole pack of strawberries for like seven dollars at the store and then the soil is eight dollars for a bag of rice bed garden soil. I have like six strawberry plants and they’re like $20 each and I get like 1-3 strawberry(s) per week so I think it’s way cheaper if I just buy strawberries at the store and once my plants die, I will never try to revive them. Should I quit. I am not asking my family the question (should I quit plants) but I’m just asking them to say yes or no and I’m taking in votes I would love for you to vote thank you for your votes #PlantCorner #OutdoorGrowing #EdiblePlants #Strawberry #TomatoPlant #CherryTomato #JalapeñoPepper #FloweringPlants #flowerpower #yesOrNo #Vote #Voting

Hello! I just got a Cherry Tomato, I have a somewhat silly question. Is it possible to grow her inside as a houseplant once I put her in a larger pot, or is it better hee plant her outside (when she’s big enough). Thanks:) #CherryTomato
