Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure a successful harvest of your yellow pear tomato seeds, proper care is essential. Start your seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a good quality seed-starting mix. Maintain soil temperature around 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination. Once seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light, either from a south-facing window or under grow lights, to prevent them from becoming leggy. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.

Choose a location with full sun exposure, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. These plants thrive in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Amend heavy clay soils with compost to improve drainage and nutrient content. Water regularly and consistently, especially during flowering and fruiting, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer, switching to a high-potassium fertilizer once fruits begin to set. Support the plants with stakes or cages as they grow, as the vines can become quite heavy with fruit. These heirloom tomato seeds are annuals and prefer warm climates, generally thriving in USDA zones 3-9 during the warm season.
