rooting tomato plant side shoots
Is it worth rooting side shoots in water and then on to pots to create
new tomato plants, or does this produce inferior results to the to the original plants? Thanks. |

Worth doing it early in the season and the plants should be just as good as the original - just behind in their development. In my experience you don't even need to root them in water - just straight into normal compost as long as it is kept moist. Later in the season you risk having a load of tomato plants which are just flowering as the temperature/length of day starts to bring the growing season to an end. Cheers Dave R |

Just treat them as any other cuttings, they root easily and will give you good plants if grown properly. David @ a very warm and sunny side of Swansea bay |
