If you plant into a smaller pot, you can still have success but you may not reach the full potential of your tomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your tomatoes well watered when planting in pots because they will dry out quicker than those planted in the ground. Dark colored pots can heat up in the sun so on very hot days, surround your tomato with other pots to shade it and keep the soil cooler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e6f7f0\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tomatoes\">Tomatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/will-tomatoes-grow-in-4-hours-of-sun\/\">Will tomatoes grow in 4 hours of sun? | Tips for success<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/will-tomato-seedlings-recover-from-sunscald\/\">Will tomato seedlings recover from sunscald? | 4 Ways to know<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/will-tomato-seedlings-recover-from-sunscald\/\">Will tomato seedlings recover from sunscald? | 4 Ways to know<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/mulching-tomato-plants-with-newspaper-6-easy-steps\/\">Mulching tomato plants with newspaper | 6 Easy Steps<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/tomato-seedlings-not-growing\/\">Tomato seedlings not growing | 7 Top Causes and Cures<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/how-to-keep-mice-off-tomato-plants\/\">How to keep mice off tomato plants | Top 7 extraordinary solutions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/how-to-grow-beefsteak-tomatoes\/\">How to grow Beefsteak Tomatoes<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/tomato-seedlings-turning-yellow-8-reasons-and-easy-solutions\/\">Tomato seedlings turning yellow | 8 Reasons and easy solutions<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/leggy-tomato-seedlings\/\">Leggy Tomato Seedlings | How to solve this problem<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/tomato-sprouts-wilting\/\">Tomato Sprouts Wilting | Causes + How to Fix it<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best pot size for patio tomatoes is 14 inches wide and 12 inches deep. &#8230; <a title=\"Pot size for tomatoes | 5 to 20 Gallons\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/pot-size-for-tomatoes\/\" aria-label=\"More on Pot size for tomatoes | 5 to 20 Gallons\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3638,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[381],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pot size for tomatoes | 5 to 20 Gallons - Eco Family Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ecofamilylife.com\/garden\/pot-size-for-tomatoes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pot size for tomatoes | 5 to 20 Gallons - Eco Family Life\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The best pot size for patio tomatoes is 14 inches wide and 12 inches deep. ...
