Full Product Description

Plum tomato, also widely called Roma tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), is the favourite paste‑processing tomato variety. Its oval oblong fruits contain thick dense flesh with far less juice than slicing‑type tomatoes.

Determinate bush‑type plants grow compact branches and ripen most crops within a short period, convenient for batch harvesting. Every batch of seeds undergoes strict screening to discard mouldy, damaged and under‑developed grains. Full‑day sunshine improves fruit firmness, and loose well‑drained fertile loam soil raises total yield.

Packaging & Storage Notice

Tiny plum tomato seeds are sealed inside thick moisture‑proof bags. Outer carton packaging stops tiny‑sized seeds from loss and breakage in transit.

Keep seed packets away from high‑temperature surroundings, humid air and harsh direct sunlight. Reseal leftover seeds tightly and store inside cool, dry and well‑ventilated indoor spaces.

Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow seeds indoors 4‑6 weeks before the last spring frost. Suitable growing temperature ranges 21℃‑27℃. Transplant seedlings outdoors once frost risk disappears.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak seeds in room‑temperature clean water for 6‑8 hours
Discard floating inactive seeds
Place soaked seeds on damp cloth for warm‑environment germination‑acceleration

Soil Requirement

Choose nutrient‑rich loose fast‑draining garden loam mixed with organic compost. Supply calcium‑rich fertilizer during blooming to prevent blossom‑end rot. Cut excessive nitrogen fertilizer that causes thick leaf growth and low fruit yield.

Sowing Operation

Bury seeds 0.6‑1 cm deep inside seed‑starting trays. Keep 45‑60 cm spacing between bush‑type plants. Short‑height stakes are optional for supporting fruit‑heavy branches. Large‑sized pots are available for balcony planting.

Germination & Seedling Care

Keep seed‑starting soil evenly moist. Plum tomato seeds germinate within 5‑10 days under warm surroundings. Maintain full‑sun illumination to avoid spindly thin seedlings.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Offer 6‑8 hours of direct sunlight every day. Water evenly and steadily to avoid fruit cracking. Clear lower old leaves for better air circulation. Harvest firm ripe red plum tomatoes for sauce‑making.

Seed Storage & Package

Airtight moisture‑proof packaging protects premium seeds from dampness, mould and shipping‑caused damage.

Store spare seeds inside cool, dry, shaded and ventilated locations. Refrigerated storage retains seed vitality. Finish sowing within three‑month storage for optimal germination‑rate results.
