Hanging potted tomatoes grown upside down on the balcony, pick the fruit just by looking up

The tomato is an extremely easy plant to grow, and its sour-sweet flavor is sure to leave a deep impression on you.

Below, the editor will show you how to grow tomatoes hanging upside down from the ceiling; with the right adjustments, it looks really classy!

1. Prepare the hooks

You need to give the tomato a well-ventilated spot with plenty of sunlight to grow; hanging it on a south-facing balcony or terrace is quite suitable, and you should install some sturdy hooks.

2. Choose a small tomato plant

Choose a dwarf variety of tomato, such as cherry tomatoes; it is best to buy from a local agricultural supply store so you can get a variety suited to growing in your area.

3. Prepare a suitable container

Prepare something with a large capacity, such as a plastic bottle or bucket. The example here is a plastic bottle of more than 2L: take off the cap, cut the bottle in two, make holes with a sharp tool, and thread a rope through it and it is ready to use.

4. Remove the tomato seedling from its pot

Lift the tomato seedling out with a trowel, being careful not to damage the roots.

5. Plant the tomato seedling

Place the seedling upside down into the hole at the bottom, first put in a layer of sphagnum moss on top, then slowly add soil (fertile, loose soil), filling it to 1/8.

After planting, water it thoroughly, and then you can hang the potted tomato on the prepared hook for care.

6. Water regularly

Watering is also fairly simple; you can buy a curved-spout tube, which makes watering very easy, and once planted, do not move the potted tomato around.

Each time you water, water thoroughly until water drips from the bottom, which is easy to see.

This method works for most plants; give them plenty of sunlight and water, and growing upside down is not difficult. You must choose strong, healthy seedlings for it to succeed.

7. Works from fellow gardeners

A self-watering hanging planter made from an oil drum, with tomatoes hanging upside down, has already started to form flower buds.

Growing some cherry tomatoes is also worth trying; the tomatoes grow downward, so be careful that pets do not damage them, and also make sure not to place anything else below.
