Grafted Cordon Tomato Plant 'Shirley'

Upon receiving your Grafted Tomato Plants, these should be treated like any other tomato. They may still have their plastic grafted pegs on, these can be carefully removed before potting.

Remove the pots immediately upon receipt and give them a good water. If particularly dry, plunge them into a bucket of water until no air bubbles are seen from the compost. Keep them in a warm place and keep well-watered until ready to plant.

These plants are larger and more mature than plugs and are ready to be planted straight away but will still benefit from hardening off before their final planting.

Grafted Plants

Grafted plants are created by joining together two different plant varieties, typically by attaching the stem of one onto the root system of another. This process allows for desirable traits, such as disease resistance or better fruit production, to be combined into a single plant.

Established plants can use a Peat-Free Vegetable Compost or use a Tomato Grow Bag.
