Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and apply a balanced fertilizer rich in potassium to encourage abundant fruiting. Harvest the fruits when they reach their beautiful orange hue to enjoy their sweet taste and juicy texture.
The organic 'Toronjina' cherry tomato is ideal for gardeners looking for a tasty and aesthetic variety, perfect for adding a touch of sweetness and color to your dishes throughout the summer season.
