How to Seed Red Pear Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

1. When to Sow: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. In warm climates, they can be sown directly outdoors once the soil has warmed.

2. Soil: Use a light, nutrient-rich, well-drained seed-starting mix.

3. Sowing: Sow seeds about 0.5 cm deep in trays or pots.

4. Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mist gently to avoid disturbing seeds.

5. Germination: Takes about 7–14 days at 20–25 °C.

6. Transplanting: When seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots. Plant deeply, covering part of the stem to encourage strong root growth.

7. Final Planting: After frost has passed, harden off seedlings and transplant outdoors into fertile soil, spacing 60–90 cm apart.

8. Care: Place in full sun. Stake or cage plants for support, water regularly, and feed with tomato fertilizer for best yields.
