FAQs
How tall will the Sweet Million tomato plant grow?
These plants can reach a height of up to 2 meters, so providing vertical support is necessary.
Can I grow these in pots?
Yes, they are excellent for patios and containers as long as the pot has good drainage and the plant is provided with support.
How many seeds are in the packet?
Each packet contains six seeds.
Do I need to prune these plants?
Pinching out the side shoots is recommended if you are growing them as a cordon to focus the plant's energy on fruit production.
What is the best soil type for this variety?
They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged.
Is this plant resistant to pests?
As an F1 hybrid, it has robust growth, but you should still monitor for common pests like aphids and whiteflies.
Troubleshooting
Poor fruit set
Ensure the plant is receiving enough light and gently shake the plant or stems to encourage pollination if grown in a static indoor environment.
Fruit skin splitting
Establish a consistent watering routine; irregular moisture uptake causes the fruit to grow too quickly for the skin to keep up.
Slow growth or yellowing leaves
Check soil drainage and ensure the plant is receiving adequate nitrogen and potassium; use a balanced liquid feed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Start your seeds in a warm, bright indoor environment to encourage strong seedling development. Once the risk of frost has passed, carefully acclimatise the plants over 7-10 days by gradually increasing their exposure to outdoor temperatures. Plant them in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. During the growing season, pinch out side-shoots if you are training the plant as a single-stem cordon to maximize fruit production. Regularly monitor for pests like aphids and ensure the plants are fed with a high-potash tomato fertilizer once the first fruits begin to set.
