Pigmy Micro Dwarf Tomato Seeds – High Yield Indoor Cherry Tomato for Pots & Containers
Solanum lycopersicum
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds
Pigmy is an incredibly high-producing micro dwarf tomato variety and one of the best choices for indoor and container gardeners who want a huge harvest from a tiny plant. Reaching only about 7 inches tall (15–20 cm), this determinate micro dwarf produces impressive clusters of up to 20 bright red cherry tomatoes at a time. The fruits are juicy, mild, and slightly more tangy than sweet, with a smooth, classic tomato flavor that makes them perfect for salads, snacking, or fresh eating right off the plant. Micro dwarf tomatoes like Pigmy are especially beneficial because they thrive in small spaces, grow beautifully in containers, and are ideal for patios, balconies, or even winter windowsill gardening. For best results, plant Pigmy in a ¾ to 1 gallon pot with well-draining soil, provide strong sunlight or a grow light, and keep watering consistent for steady fruit production. Expect tomatoes to begin ripening around 65 days after transplant, and get ready to harvest tons of delicious cherries from this tiny but mighty plant.

Hot climate (no snow areas), can also sow seeds indoors during the summer to transplant in the fall. Sow 2 seeds per 4 inch pot or solo cups with drainage holes cut out of the bottom, filled with sterile seed starting mix, cover with 1/4 inch of soil. Place over heat mats, use grow lights, and fertilize once the first set of true leaves appear to speed up growth.

Common Diseases: Tomatoes catch a ton of common leaf diseases caused by various pathogens that die when treated with hydrogen peroxide. If you notice powdery mildew, yellow spots, or black lesions on the stems, spray with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. Repeat every 3 to 5 days until you notice the spread has stopped. If a lot of rain is expected, pre-treatment will help to prevent diseases. For severe leaf diseases use a stronger treatment like Monteray Disease Control.
Common Pests: The most common pest when growing tomatoes are aphids, mealy bugs, spider mites, and worms (like the tomato horn worm or army worms). All of these can be treated with spinosad.
