Rooting Tomato Suckers to Create New Plants

Turn Tomato Suckers into Free Plants

Tomato suckers (shoots from leaf axils) root easily. Remove lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone, plant 1 inch deep in moist potting mix. Cover with plastic, keep in indirect light. Check for roots in 2 weeks. Then harden off and transplant.

Removing suckers also improves airflow and fruit size on the main plant.
