Prefers well-drained soil, high in organic matter that is consistenly moist to prevent blossom end rot and to provide roots with the ability to better absorb nutrients. Mulching around the plant witll help with moisture retention. Transplant the matured pot-grown plant into the outside ground two weeks after the last frost. Cover the main stem with up to 2 inches of topsoil to promote root development for better support against the wind. Provide 8 hours of full sun for the best flavour. Caging or trellising is recommended to allow the plant to grow vertically which will promote a higher crop yield and give space for a larger number of plants. See tomato cultivation.
