Pot size for Dwarfs

SueCT · June 28, 2015

Today I planted two plants, one Tasmanian Chocolate and one Rosella Purple, in a single 10 gallon fabric grow pot. Is that OK, or should I re-pot into separate pots? Is there a general guide about how big a pot is needed for one Dwarf plant? I haven't done much growing of tomatoes in pots until last year but had pretty good luck with 1 plant per 20 gallon pot for the larger varieties and 1 per 10 gallon pot for some of the smaller like Sophie's Choice. I think the year before I had put 2 Sophie's Choice plants into one 10 gallon container and they did OK but I thought a 7 gallon with one per pot would have been a little better, so it was a little tight. Since I have never grown dwarfs before, I wasn't sure how they compare.

I planted Dwarf Summertime Gold in the garden so I can see how much of a difference, if any, it makes. Won't be a direct comparison since they are different varieties. Is there much difference in plant sizes between Dwarf varieties?
