The particular case of tomatoes
The tomato offers a unique opportunity for propagation. When pruning plants regularly, you normally remove suckers growing in the armpit between the main stem and side branches. Instead of throwing them away, simply immerse them in a container filled with ’ water, making sure that a good portion of the branch is submerged.
The roots develop very quickly on the part in contact with water, sometimes in just a few weeks. This gives you new tomato plants that you can immediately plant in the ground. These plants are particularly suitable for late tomato plantings, thus extending your harvest season.
