    Bush Tomatoes/ what size pot?

    I have some Determinate/ Bush Tomato plants (variety Black Sea Man) that are ready for potting on to their final pot.

    Question being how large should i go pot wise (they will be grown in a greenhouse)

    I grew mine in 5 ltr pots last year but this year I'll be growing them in 10ltr pots. They were absolutely fine in the 5 ltr pots last year, i just want to see how much bigger they get in 10 ltr pots.

      Black Sea Man is quite a big bush, not small like Red Alert or hanging basket types.
      I'd say it needs something like a builders bucket to grow properly, in a smaller pot it would be top heavy and blow over easily.

        Ok thanks - it will be in the greenhouse so won't blow over but i err on the size of something a bit larger

          IMO 12ltrs minimum
          Potty by name Potty by nature.

            Id say 20l ideal 10L is doing able but you may need to water twice a day so bigger the better
