Q: If one purchases the kit in October and sets it up, will it grow in a south facing window if the season is fall/winter? Also, how often would you water the plant in the jar? How do you prevent mold?
submitted by Lisa - 2 months ago
A:Â Hi Lisa! You can grow our tomato windowsill planter in the winter. We'd recommend a grow light - especially in the shorter days of winter - to help supplement the light. Your watering frequency will depend on the temperature of the room and how much light your plant gets, in the beginning, you want to keep the top two inches of the soil moist but not saturated or muddy (a spray bottle is a great option) and then as your plant matures, you want to water as the soil dries. Inside, usually, it's about once a week. Feel free to reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com with questions!

Q: i see reviews from people saying that there plant never flowered im wondering how to avoid that
submitted by Concerned planter - 9 months ago
A: Hi there! Plants that don't flower are usually stressed from too much or not enough of something. You will want to make sure your plant has 6 to 8 hours of sunlight or use a grow light to supplement light a day, and you can pollinate it by tapping the stem of the plant - since tomatoes have both male and female parts. Feeding it on a consistent schedule can help, and protecting it from harsh temperatures. Ideally, our tomato kit will grow well between 70° and 75° Fahrenheit. And if you have questions or concerns, we are here to help, just reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com.

Q: is this annual or perrenial? can the plant continuously grow year to year? I'm just wondering if this is something that can grow more seeds and replanted to other pots.
submitted by IMUSA Ceramoc Griddle - 1 year ago
A:Â Hey there! I am so glad you asked. Transplanting is not necessary. Your tomato plant will have plenty of room to grow inside the jar. We actually recommend not transplanting your plant, as the roots may get damaged in the process. Our tomato grow kit is designed to grow inside, so given the right conditions and light, it should come back again the next year. Please don't hesitate to reach out to contact@backtotheroots.com with any other questions!

Bought this and we started it during my kids springbreak because we were having construction in our backyard and couldn’t do a garden this year. It was fun to see the seeds grow. But like others…gnats were surrounding it and a weird mold was developing in the jar.

Worked too well. The plant was so heavily laden with tomatoes it fell over and snapped. So, yes, they grow. But maybe put a stake in there before you get started.
Nice kit

Grew very quickly. My kids loved planting the seeds and watching it grow. We now have a very tall plant that is just starting to grow tomatoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After more than two months, there is one small green tomato. A bunch of flowers that have looked exactly the same for three weeks. Such a disappointment. And yes, I followed the directions and used a grow light.
Great plant

After 6 months I finally have some cherry tomatoes growing. After about 3-4 months it seemed to stop growing and the instructions say not to put a fertilizer stick until you see flowers, but since nothing was happening for about 2 months I decided to insert the fertilizer stick anyway, and shortly after that my plant grew so much in height and then we got the tomatoes.

At first, everything seemed easy. The plant was growing & seemed very healthy… until it grew way too tall and snapped in half. It never grew any flowers or tomatoes. Just grew super tall & snapped. Months and months of watering this plant, waiting for tomatoes for absolutely nothing.
Awesome!
