# Just planted some tomato seedlings outside yesterday and watered…

_Posted by Morgan on 2025-05-23_

Just planted some tomato seedlings outside yesterday and watered yesterday and today. Planta says next watering in 5 days, but I thought especially w a newly planted seedling it will need more than that. Anyone know why that’s Planta’s recommendation/what is correct?

Seedlings or seeds? I’ve used the planta recommended times to water And fertilization and my Park’s Whopper tomatoes have grown 6 feet tall so far! (The ones in the middle, They’re taller than the balcony railing by at least 6 inches and that’s in the past week!)

You just have to make sure you keep the plant health tab updated! It’ll change based on where/how it’s planted, conditions, and the size of the plant! I literally ho out there with a measuring tape!

Thank you!

Seedlings! So did you water once and then wait 5 days? The things I’m seeing online say to water every day for first week

Do you mind me asking what specific Fertilizer you use for the plants?
