• Full sun, at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• They thrive in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8.
• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area.
• Transplant seedlings into the garden when they have at least two sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
• Provide support for the tomato plants, such as stakes or cages, to prevent sprawling and ensure good air circulation.
• Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Aim to water at the base of the plants to prevent fungal diseases.
• Water early in the day to allow foliage to dry before evening.
• Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or compost at planting time.
• You can feed the plants with additional fertilizer during the growing season.
• Remove the lower leaves of the plant to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.
• Prune any suckers (side shoots) that develop in the leaf axils.
• Monitor for common tomato pests like aphids, hornworms, and whiteflies.
• Be vigilant for diseases like early blight and late blight. Use organic or chemical treatments as needed.
• Giant Zebra Tomatoes are typically ready for harvest 80-90 days after transplanting.
• Harvest when the fruits are fully ripe, and the skin displays its characteristic stripes.
• Store harvested tomatoes at room temperature until fully ripe, then refrigerate to extend freshness.
