When to Plant in the UAE

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors in August.
• Outdoors: Transplant seedlings in early October, when temperatures begin to cool.
• Avoid: Peak summer heat, as extreme temperatures can interfere with flowering, fruit set, and overall plant growth.

Planting & Care Tips

• Light & Soil: Grow in full sun in fertile, loose, well-draining soil enriched with compost and organic matter.
• Depth & Germination: Sow seeds approximately 0.5–1 cm deep. Germination typically occurs within 5–10 days under warm conditions.
• Spacing: Space plants 60–75 cm apart, with 90–120 cm between rows.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during establishment, flowering, and fruit development. Avoid irregular watering and waterlogged conditions.
• Feeding: Add compost before planting and apply a balanced organic tomato fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during active growth. Increase potassium during flowering and fruiting to support healthy fruit development.
• Support: Provide strong stakes, cages, or trellises. The plants can become tall and heavily loaded with large fruits.
• Pruning: Remove lower leaves and selected suckers as needed to improve airflow and keep the plant manageable.
• Harvest: Fruits are generally ready approximately 75–90 days after transplanting. Harvest when the tomatoes develop their full mature color and feel slightly soft.
• Harvesting Tips: Pick fruits carefully using clean pruners or scissors. Allow fruits to finish ripening indoors if necessary.
