Length: 5-9 inches in a 12cm pot.

Thank you for choosing our premium tomatoes seedlings! Here's how to care for your new plants. 

### Site Selection:
- **Light:** Tomatoes thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.
- **Temperature:** Ideal temperatures for tomatoes range between 70-85°F (21-29°C) during the day and 55-70°F (13-21°C) at night.

### Soil Preparation:
- Use well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-6.8) is ideal.
- Improve soil fertility by incorporating compost or well-rotted manure before planting.

### Planting:
- **Transplanting:** Transplant seedlings by teasing out plants from the pot.
- **Spacing:** Space tomato plants 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart and provide support such as stakes, cages, or trellises.

### Watering:
- Water tomatoes deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can reduce the risk of disease.

### Sunlight:
- Tomatoes require full sun to produce healthy fruit. Ensure they receive adequate sunlight for vigorous growth and high yields.
- In very hot climates, provide some afternoon shade to prevent sunscald on the fruit.

### Fertilizing:
- Alternatively, use organic fertilizers like compost, bone meal, or fish emulsion to promote healthy plant growth and fruit production.

### Mulching:
- Mulch around tomato plants with organic materials like straw, grass clippings, or compost to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds.
- Mulching also helps prevent soil-borne diseases by reducing soil splashing onto the foliage.

### Pruning and Support:
- Prune suckers (the small shoots that grow in the leaf axils) on indeterminate tomato varieties to focus energy on fruit production.

### Pest and Disease Management:
- Common tomato pests include aphids, tomato hornworms, and whiteflies. Monitor plants regularly and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Diseases such as blight, wilt, and leaf spot can affect tomatoes. Avoid overhead watering, and provide good air circulation to reduce disease risk.

### Harvesting:
- Harvest tomatoes when they are fully ripe and have reached their mature color red
- Continue harvesting regularly to encourage further fruit production.

By following these care guidelines, you can successfully grow tomatoes and enjoy a bountiful harvest of flavorful fruits for use in salads, sauces, salsas, and other culinary dishes.
