Planting TOMATO SLICE To Grow TOMATOES Time-lapse

This is an easy way to plant tomato plants in your own garden in spring.

Growing a tomato plant from a tomato slice was one of the first growing videos i made almost 2 years ago so naturally i had to make one all the way to fruit :)

It got a bit out of control though. My plan was not to prune it at all and just let it grow however it wanted to. But that was a bad idea, it got waay to big for its pot and reaching all the way to the ceiling. And that's probably why i had trouble pollinating the flowers. Happy it made a few tomatoes at least. Next time i do tomato i will prune to make it more bushy.

I simply don't understand all the hate in the comments. It's a nice timelapse, not a tutorial on how to grow the perfect tomato plant.

That was lovely! I remember making a comment a couple years ago that I was frustrated that the video didn't go till fruiting. You responded and said you were working on ones that were. I was so impressed that you responded and were doing that that I subscribed on the spot! And you have made so many of those now, while all the other channels just do like a couple weeks of growth. I know this is so much harder and I'm so grateful for all the work you put into it! It really helps me with gardening and it's so satisfying to see the fruits of your labors. Anyway, this was another stunner.

Can't believe that violinist just sat there and played extremely slow music for 120 days. Impressive.

For those who think this is a happy tomato plant: the stem is incredibly thin because the grow light used for these videos isn't strong enough for the plant. This plant did not fruit very well and it stayed very thin and leggy.

Which is totally fine to just watch a plant grow, but rest assured, this would not have survived outside.

Tomatoes require at minimum, 40 watts of light per square foot while growing inside. Most people spend the $$ and put a 250-450+ watt light over a tray of tomato seedlings. I've made the mistake of low watt grow lights recently, and my plants looked similar to this. Very soft, weak, lanky stems.

Cool video though!

For anyone wondering: The plant is left inside with very little light so the plant is extremely leggy, thin and fragile. The pot is too small for a plant that size (plus planter probably didn't fertilize the plant), thus there was not enough nutrition nor water for the plant to keep all or most of the tomatoes. The plant gave all its energy to the few tomatoes it had on the plant to ensure it had off-springs. Clearly, the plant gave up putting energy into its leaves before letting the few tomatoes die. This was a time lapse of an unhealthy tomato plant but it shows you the process of its growth.

You don’t realize how much plants actually move until you do a time lapse like this.

Remind me of that one cherry tomato I planted. Grew as high af. Produced just a single fruit. Then died like a fckin asshole.

I wish more people would realize how easy it is to plant and grow things. Thank you for these videos.

I was a heirloom tomato farmer for a few years with over 15 different variety’s… They grow pretty fast. If you want more fruit make sure to grow them pretty close to each other(about 12in) in the biggest pots you can if not directly in soil. With as much sun as possible.

Our world is perfectly designed. I cant believe my eyes seeing this. A tiny slice of fruit, something we can eat so easily, and is so delicious, is self regenerating… The world is beautiful.

I’d guarantee anyone that loves growing had a big smile on their face as soon as the plant started to sprout, I did

That little tomato slice went all out omggg✨️

[barnycanuck]

We tried this with (1) quarter inch slice of a normal sized tomato. We got 32 plants transplanted to the garden and all are doing exceptionally well

My dad once puked in a plant pot on our balkony after he ate tomatoes and it grew beautiful tomato plants. The circle of life 🙌🏻

[jonevans]

This person doesn't talk in their videos and just does time lapses without saying "hi guys"... Huh, yes liked and subscribed 🔥🔥

[RiverReeves]

I love your videos, I don't understand the negative comments. This is a beautiful work of art. Thank you.

[marieantoinette]

If you want your tomato plant to grow like a tight, compromised bush instead of a tree-like plant, just regulary snap some of its baby stems (once it's tall enough). The plant will react with more bushy growth and even more fruit.

Also make sure you water it before it completely dries out. Tomatos consist manly of water - the plant will naturally need a lot of it in order to pruduce them.

Tomato plants are also very good against mosquitos, for they very much disklike the leafs' smell. (As are e.g. Lavender, Incense plants, Basil, Mint, ect.)

This is the best video i have ever seen I'm not joking that tomato plant made me almost cry of how beautiful she have grown

[sinnersucksatgamingsp]

This actually helps alot to see if the plants I am currently growing are growing correctly and what to watch for. Thanks!

[marklugo]

Your time-lapse videos are like performance pieces of art. I'm new to the world of germinating seeds so your videos are very inspirational when some of my attempts have failed. Yeah, like a security blanket telling me "its gonna be alright" and then I give it another try. Thank you so much!
