You can speed up the germination process by raising the temperature to 79F (26C). If multiple seeds germinate in each pod, leave one seedling to grow per plant pod to ensure enough space and nutrients for the plant to grow. Tomatoes love warmth and hate sudden temperature changes e.g. cool breeze. They grow well, however, in hot climates and at temperatures such as 86F (30C). Do not cut or prune your Mini Tomato plant before fruiting - it will form flowers and fruits at the top of the plant.
