From salads to snacks, the Kitchen Minis™ Red Velvet Cherry Tomato is the ideal option for fresh-grown tomatoes when space is limited. This compact plant is well suited to living in a container, and at 10 to 12 inches tall and 6 to 8 inches wide, this plant is an excellent size for a balcony, deck, or indoors as a houseplant. The bright red tomatoes will grow 0.5 to 1 inch wide and will be ready to eat in 70 to 84 days. As a determinate variety, all of the tomatoes will ripen simultaneously.
Kitchen Minis™ Red Velvet Cherry Tomato Care
This compact plant prefers rich soil that is well-draining and has a 6.0 to 6.8 pH. Place this tomato plant in an area that receives full sun to keep the plant happy and healthy. Pruning is not necessary, and this plant is very low maintenance.

Growing Kitchen Minis™ Red Velvet Cherry Tomatoes in Containers
This variety stays relatively small at 10 to 12 inches tall, so a 6- to 8-inch container is a good size. Select a pot with drainage so the soil can dry out.
Watering Kitchen Minis™ Red Velvet Cherry Tomato
This variety likes to dry out, so feel the soil to determine the right time to water. The plant needs a drink when the top several inches of soil feels dry.
Feeding Kitchen Minis™ Red Velvet Cherry Tomato
Tomatoes prefer rich soil, but these plants also benefit from routine fertilization. Feed the plant using balanced, water-soluble plant food every 2 to 3 weeks.
