How to grow Tomato 'Apis f1'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Apis f1 is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Apis f1 requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Apis f1 from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Saved seeds from hybrids (like this variety) may not grow true to type.

Ensure a distance of 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Apis f1

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Apis f1 is a tender plant.
