Tomato Plant (Big Size)

A tomato plant is a green, soft-stemmed plant that grows in warm weather and produces red, round fruits called tomatoes. It has green leaves with jagged edges and small yellow flowers that turn into the fruit. Tomato plants need plenty of sunlight, water, and rich soil to grow well. They can grow as short, bushy plants or as tall, climbing ones that need support. People grow tomatoes in gardens all over the world because they are tasty, healthy, and used in many different foods.

☀️ Sunlight

• Tomato plants need 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

• In Qatar’s strong sun, use shade nets (30–40%) during peak summer to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Watering

• Water regularly but moderately — keep the soil moist, not soggy.

• In Qatar’s heat, water early morning or late evening.

🌾 Fertilizing

• Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer during growth.

• Add compost or seaweed extract every 2–3 weeks for better fruiting.

🌿 Mulching

• Use dry grass, straw, or coconut husk to cover the soil.

• Helps retain moisture and reduce weed growth.

🍅 Harvesting

• Tomatoes are ready to harvest when they turn bright red and firm.

• Pick gently to avoid damaging the plant.
