Planting Method Step 1: Timing. Sow seeds indoors 6–7 weeks before the last frost date. Direct outdoor sowing can start once frost danger passes. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 20–28°C. Step 2: Site preparation. Choose a full sun location with fertile, loose and well-drained soil. Add well-rotted organic compost to enrich soil nutrients. Step 3: Sowing. Plant seeds 0.8–1cm deep, place 2 seeds per hole. Step 4: Water after sowing. Water gently to maintain even soil moisture, avoid overwatering to prevent seed rot. Step 5: Seedling emergence. Seedlings sprout in 7–12 days. Keep seedlings under bright light to avoid leggy thin stems. Step 6: Thinning & transplanting. When seedlings grow 3–4 true leaves, keep the strongest seedling. Space mature plants 50–60cm apart. Step 7: Maintenance. Set up stakes or trellises for vine support. Water consistently, and apply fertilizer during flowering and fruit expansion. Remove side shoots regularly. Step 8: Harvest. Around 100–110 days after sowing. Harvest fruits when fully deep red for full flavor.
Suitable Climate Hezuo 903 tomato thrives in warm, sunny environments. Ideal growing temperature is 18–28°C. Frost will kill young seedlings. Full sunlight over 6 hours daily helps fruit ripen evenly. Waterlogged soil causes root rot easily.
Applications Perfect for backyard vegetable gardens, market farms and greenhouse planting. The ripe red tomatoes are great for fresh eating, salads, soups and sauce making.
