Tomato Care Tips: The Importance of Primer Leaves

An important part of tomato planting is the bottom leaf. During the growth of tomato plants, timely pruning of the bottom leaves not only helps ventilation between plants, but also effectively reduces the occurrence of diseases.

📌 Summary of experience and precautions:

Timely pruning: Usually when the tomato plants grow to a certain height and the bottom leaves begin to turn yellow or become too dense, they can be pruned. At this time, using sterilized scissors to cut off the excess leaves can help the plants ventilate better.

Tool disinfection: Before pruning, make sure the scissors have been disinfected to avoid the spread of germs through pruning tools. You can wipe the scissors with alcohol to ensure a clean and hygienic pruning process.

Keep functional leaves: When pruning, keep some functional leaves, which are an important part of photosynthesis. Do not over-prune to avoid affecting the normal growth of tomatoes.

Ventilation: After pruning the bottom leaves, the ventilation and air permeability between tomato plants will be better, which can reduce the growth of diseases, especially common diseases such as gray mold and blight.

Observe recovery: After pruning, pay attention to the plant's recovery. If you find signs of disease, take timely measures, such as spraying fungicides, to help the plant recover.
