Green Thumbs Rejoice: Viral Method Shows How to Easily Grow More Tomatoes from Cuttings
A popular online gardening expert, Andre the Farmer, has recently captivated his audience by demonstrating a remarkably simple yet effective method for propagating tomato plants from cuttings. In a recent video, uploaded on January 25, 2024, Andre guides viewers through the process, emphasizing the ease with which new tomato plants can be grown from existing ones. He explains how to identify a 'sucker' – a small shoot growing between the main stem and a leaf branch – and then, using pruning shears, carefully removes it. The next step involves stripping the lower leaves from the cutting, preparing it for planting. "We can either plant this super deep, or if you have a shallow bed, you can plant it at an angle," Andre advises, demonstrating how to bury the stem in the soil. He stresses the importance of covering as much of the stem as possible, as this is where new roots will form. "That's going to grow into a full tomato plant," he confidently states. The video has resonated with many home gardeners, who are now asking for further tips on various gardening topics, indicating a strong interest in sustainable and accessible gardening practices.
