2. Cut the Tomato: Slice the tomato into pieces that are approximately ½ inch thick. A single tomato may yield several plants from only one slice.
3. Fill a container or planting tray with high-quality potting soil to prepare it for Step 3. Soil should be slightly moistened to make it hospitable to seedlings.
4. Plant the Slices: In each pot or part of your planting tray, lay a tomato slice on top of the soil. Spread a thin layer of dirt, no more than an eighth of an inch thick.
5. Wait for the water to soak in before watering the freshly planted segments. Soil should be damp but not soggy, and containers or trays should be placed in a bright, warm position.
6. Plant the Seedlings: After a week or two, you should see little seedlings popping up. Once they reach a height of a few inches and have real leaves, select the strongest plants, divide them into smaller pots, and then plant them in your garden.
