What is the best way to grow a tomato plant from a favorite tomato (fruit)?

Answer 1

If the tomato plant is an "heirloom" or other open-pollinated (non-hybrid) tomato, you can save the seeds from a mature tomato, dry them on a paper towel until they are completely dry, and then plant them. (At this point in the year, you will probably want to wait until next spring, because there's not enough time to start a tomato plant from seed and get tomatoes off of it before the cold weather comes.) If the tomato plant is a hybrid, that means that its "parents" are 2 different types of tomatoes, and what comes from the seeds you save will be different than the tomato it came from. If the plant is still in good shape, you can take a cutting and root it. Cut a sucker off the plant - those are the stems that grow up between the fruiting stems - dip it in rooting hormone (not needed, but helpful - you can find it in plant nurseries and yard and garden stores) and put it in a pot of good potting soil. Keep it well-watered but never soggy, and new roots will form. Then keep it in a warm and brightly lit place over the winter. A cutting is literally a clone of the plant it came from, so it will produce identical tomatoes to the parent plant.

Answer 2

You can try planting the seeds from the tomato and watch what happens. Be prepared that if your favorite is a hybrid, the plants from the seeds will not be the same as the parent, and the seeds can even be sterile.
If you know the variety, buy the seeds.
I have several varieties of tomato that have been grown from previous years seed for over five years now.

first you need to save the seeds from your favorite tomatoe. you can put them on a piece of paper towel until they are dry. once they are dry you need to put them in a jar to store for the winter and make sure they are sealed good because once we had mice and they ate everything ..... lol .... now you are ready to start your seeds. you will need a flower tray and potting soil. place seeds on top of soil and cover with a thin layer of soil. now your plants will begin to grow. after they start it might be necessary to thin plants out so that the stems wont be spinly. as soon as your plants are 8 to 10 inches tall you are ready to set them in the ground to grow. be sure to fertilize them and hopefully you will enjoy nice fresh tomatoes just as you like. we grow a big garden each year and have enjoyed many things passed down thru generations by using this tecnique. i hope i can be of help to you. good luck !!

you need to pollinate the vegetation your self with a small watercolor paint brush. the superb and comfortable temperature must be the undertaking, regardless of if that's fairly early contained interior the season for that. I stay in AZ and we are plenty warmer and drier than you're and that i've got all forms of tomatoes on my plant existence. I advance in the two 5 and 15 gallon bins and fertilize with compost and granular fertilizer. the undertaking must be your fertilizer. in spite of you make the main of the phosphate needs to be a greater quantity than the nitrogen and potash. Phosphate is what makes your fruit. too plenty nitrogen will in fact grant you with an enthralling plant and no fruit. yet yet another undertaking must be that the tomato type does no longer artwork nicely on your section. in basic terms purchase plant existence that are shown to do nicely on your section.
