Indoor Garden: Cloning Tomato Plants for Harvesting All Winter

I love the taste of Sun Sugar Cherry Tomatoes so it is such a shame when the first frost kills the plants in my outdoor garden. Imagine my excitement when I discovered how to take one Sun Sugar Cherry Tomato plant and make it produce tomatoes literally forever.

In this video, I demonstrate how we clone our tomato plants to keep producing delicious cherry tomatoes all winter long in our indoor garden. I'll take new cuttings off this plant in the early spring and start new plants to grow in the outdoor garden or I can just transplant the ones that produced all winter long into the outdoor garden. This is just so cool!

I never knew that you could do that with tomatoes. I'm going to have to try that next year.

wish we were neighbor's! I will see you when we go to our true home! Your amazing and your family is wonderful ❣️God bless You 🙏

I did something similar and found that the tomatoes that were allowed to drape over my pot eventually broke because of the weight on the stem. What worked for me was one of those big pool noodles. I allowed the plant to drape over the noodle to support the stem over a nice rounded lip. Anything round, and about 3" in diameter should work. I use peroxide also but I also sprinkle cinnamon on the dirt to stop the gnats.

Terrific information! I grew the Sun Sugar this year and loved it. Now I know how to clone it. Thanks!

That's a fun experiment!!! I had a TERRIBLE year with my tomatoes!!! Super frustrating! I pulled everything about 3 weeks ago now. My absolute favorite tomato is "Paul Robeson" it is so productive and pest and disease resistant. It is always the largest at planting, first to fruit, produces the most volume of fruits, and even when there are adverse effects on the plants it recovers better than my other varieties. My favorite cherry tomato, "yellow pear" and my favorite paste tomato "Amish paste" I hope you are eating your favorite tomatoes for your celebration of the new year ❤️

Thank you, I knew you can keep harvesting cold weather crops throughout the winter by protecting them from frost (works in USDA zones 4 & 5); but I've never thought about getting fresh tomatoes all year without a greenhouse.

Thanks my friend and i didn´t know you could clone a tomato plant much so thanks for the tip.

Cool, I want to grow beets and tomatoes indoors

I love sun gold cherry and Juliet grape tomatoes, I’m going to have to try sun gold

[jessicaSmash]

Great info. I remember my mom doing this when I was a kid. I’m going to this today.

Like the hanging basket solution with the grow bag added, really thinking outside the box (or in this case the basket, lol). "Necessity is the mother of invention".👍😊
Like this idea of cloning plants that you can't regrow by seed (& get the same true variety). Your extra measures of protection look like you're going to have success with this cloning project!!

I'm in the process of bringing in some of my herbs and bringing in some of my smaller tomatoes and peppers...and I'm about 15 miles north of you. I will probably put some in larger pots and all will go in a sunny window with grow lights as winter goes on.

[janieshoes]

I do this with peppers also, my favorite is chocolate cherry.

Such a helpful video. I was able to get some clippings before the first frost here in New England. Planning top grow lettuce and some herbs

[audreysmith]

We have a few favorite tomato varieties, all open pollinated: Honeydrop cherry tomato; Glacier salad tomato; Rose de Berne slicing tomato; and Ten Fingers of Naples paste tomato. All have wonderful flavor and they are great producers.

[nancymweasel]

My favorite tomato is Roma. It's all purpose and with less water/more meat it is perfect for sauce.

[jantrewitt]

WOW, what a great demonstration! I hope all works out for you and you have lots of those cherry tomatoes in the winter.

[baneverything]

Dang goats ate my entire garden and even got my cherry tomato clones rooting in water bottles on the porch!

[marygallagher]

Great video on rooting cuttings! I hope they do very well in your indoor garden :-)
