Grow Tomatoes at Home

Tomatoes are an important part of your daily life. They are food for your eyes, and more! If you want to grow them easily at home, then try this out!

Steps

 * 1)  Buy a ripe tomato. Cut it in half. You only need part of a half, so save the other half of the tomato.
 * 2)  Cut a fat slice from one of the halves. Make sure the seeds stay intact. If they don't, then you can use the bottom.
 * 3)  Place the tomato in a small pot with soil. Make sure it is a small starter pot. You will need to transfer your plant to a bigger pot later. This step is crucial. If you don't put it in a small starter pot, the tomato's roots go deep to fill up space, but the tomato won't grow upwards.
 * 4)  Water your tomato a little bit every day. Put your tomato in the sunlight. Always make sure the soil is moist, but not sopping wet. If you see mold, it's OK. This happens to some plants.
 * 5)  After two weeks, you should see some growth. Now would probably be the time to transfer the plant to a slightly larger pot.
