‘Venus’ Micro-Dwarf Tomato, organic seeds(Solanum lycopersicum)
Product code : GAIAS-0411
‘Venus’ Micro-Dwarf Tomato, organic seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) Gaia describes Venus as a micro-dwarf heirloom developed by Thompson & Morgan Seeds. The indeterminate plant reaches only 6 to 8 inches according to the cultivar-specific description while remaining high yielding. Small round fruit turns orange and has a sweet taste. This compact format is especially useful for containers, window boxes, and sunny spaces where a full-size tomato would be less practical. A small support follows Gaia’s staking direction without overwhelming the container. The small plant keeps developing fruit close to the gardener’s reach.
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 10 to 35°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C. Provide bright light immediately after emergence. During hardening off, gradually reduce watering and nitrogen without allowing plants to wilt. Transplant after frost risk has passed into fertile, well-drained potting mix. In containers, keep one plant per pot and place it in full sun. Rotate the pot regularly to encourage balanced, even growth.
Gaia lists approximately 75 days to maturity and classifies the fruit as S/P. Harvest after the orange colour is fully expressed. Fruit that has begun colouring can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. The packet contains approximately 25 organic seeds, lot GOGO689, with reported germination above 85%. The open-pollinated heirloom seeds are certified organic by Ecocert Canada. Store whole tomatoes from 12 to 21°C at approximately 95% relative humidity as listed by Gaia. Harvest regularly to reduce the load on compact stems and keep fruit accessible.
