Indeterminate varieties need staking, trellis, or string for support they will keep growing all season and keep producing more flowers and fruits until the plant dies. To stop it from growing taller snip the main stem. Need regular pruning, remove all lower leaves until the first set of flowers, and remove suckers (I remove all suckers up to 5 ft and from there 2 out of every 3 suckers). suckers can be put in water for a week to develop roots and then plant in your yard to get additional tomato plants (note those plants may produce less than the original plant but they will produce)
Determinate varieties require tomato cages for support. They grow to a set height (Manitoba 6-7 ft, Roma to 5 ft). Need regular pruning, remove all lower leaves until the first set of flowers, as for suckers you want to keep most of them (I remove 1 out of 3-4 suckers just to allow better airflow). suckers can be put in water for a week to develop roots and then plant in your yard to get additional tomato plants (note those plants may produce less than the original plant but they will produce)
Fertilizer: Balanced fertilizer Nitrogen rich fertilizer starting 3 weeks after transplant. When flowers start, reduce the amount of nitrogen and increase phosphorous and potassium in the fertilizer, also sprinkle Epsom salt at the base of the plant. If your soil lacks calcium add some calcium as well at the same time.
Spacing: 24 inches apart. Determinate varieties can grow well in containers of 5 gallons or higher. Indeterminate varieties grow better in the ground but will also grow well in containers of 7 gallons or higher. If growing in containers add calcium and Epsom salt when transplanting and when flowers start. Also, containers may dry faster and may need watering twice a day.
