Indoors: Sow seeds in trays or small pots filled with fine seed compost from February to April. Sow 0.5 cm deep, water gently, and maintain a temperature of 18–22°C. Once seedlings are strong enough, prick out into individual pots and grow on in bright, warm conditions.

 

Outdoors/Greenhouse: Harden off seedlings after the last frost and transplant into a sunny, sheltered position. Provide support for sprawling plants and keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Harvest fruits regularly to encourage continued production.

 

Tomato Wild Galapagos is perfect for gardeners seeking a rare, exotic tomato variety with extraordinary flavour, ornamental appeal, and the thrill of growing a true wild species.
