Direct answer

Tomatoes grow through multiple stages and usually need a planter upgrade (transplant) at least once. They want a soil mix with balanced NPK, warm light and consistent watering. Exact numeric targets are read from Plant Info in the 1.0 build; values still unsupported are marked unknown here.

Recipes using tomato

Tomato connects to the cookbook: it is a base ingredient for several recipes used in club orders. The recipe database links each dish back to this page, and the cookbook sweep will complete the full list.

Related search intents covered on one page: tomato planter, tomato soil, tomato watering, tomato growing time — thin split pages only get URLs after GSC shows distinct demand.

Known failure states

  • Not growing — check for wrong soil composition or a too-small planter, not just light.
  • Slow growth — low light or cold temperature band; moving plants is part of the location puzzle.
  • Wilting — usually watering, but verify against the plant-health page before changing your routine.
Evidence note

Planter and soil rules come from in-game Plant Info and direct 1.0 observation. Numeric values (exact litres/cm, exact NPK ranges) are pending a full Plant Info sweep and are shown as unknown rather than inferred.
