Unlock an Endless Supply of Tomatoes with This Simple Gardening Hack
Gardeners are always looking for innovative ways to maximize their harvest, and a recent viral video from user @hey_velina offers a simple yet effective method for achieving 'never ending tomato plants.' The video, uploaded on June 23, 2025, demonstrates how to propagate new tomato plants from small offshoots known as 'suckers.'The gardening enthusiast explains that suckers grow in the 'V' shape between the main stalk and a branch of a tomato plant. By carefully plucking these suckers, gardeners can place them in water for approximately a week, allowing them to develop a robust root system. Once rooted, these young plants are ready to be transferred to soil, effectively creating new, healthy tomato plants from existing ones.In the video, @hey_velina showcases suckers that have successfully rooted in water, boasting impressive root growth. She also presents two new tomato plants that originated from suckers planted just two weeks prior, highlighting the rapid growth potential of this propagation method. The technique offers a cost-effective and sustainable way for home gardeners to expand their tomato yield without needing to purchase new seeds or seedlings.
