What are some fast-growing pot plants?

When I bought my baby tomato plants, there was only one plant in each pot.?

  • Now almost 2 months later, I have these baby tomato plants ( or rather what looks and smells like baby tomato plants ) growing next to them in the same pot. I pulled it out and it had roots. Does anyone know if these baby plants are fruit bearing or how to successfully transfer them to another pot? I tried and now it is wilting. I'm not really an experienced gardener and this is my first time growing anything. If I could re-pot these and have them bear fruit then that would be great. Any tips?

  • Answer:

    Any tomato plant will bear fruit. What type you get depends on how the seeds got there. If they are slower developing seeds of the same variety, then you will get the same fruits. If not, you will have to wait and see, but you will get a viable crop if you manage to keep them going. It should soon be pretty obvious if they are not tomato plants. Edit. It IS possible to transplant tomato seedlings. Many professionals, myself included, sow the seed in trays and then 'prick out', or transplant to a pot, the strongest seedlings.

next time, GENTLY move the soil around the second plant , little by little and 'tease' the plant out ... don't just yank it out.... that's why it's in shock!!!.... yanking also can harm the roots of the OTHER plant if they are intertwined... go gentle..... glad to hear it perked up....

Generally speaking, when we sow seeds to start tomatoes, we stick 2-3 seeds in each pellet. (They start often with little soil pellets that grow bigger when watered, and once established, we put them in peat pots.) We do that to make sure, at least one seed germinates. Sometimes none grow, sometimes 1, sometimes all the seeds start growing. At that point, we remove the extras (unless we are are nervous as I am, and fear one will die, so I see what happens, until I know which one is the strongest. lol) And then the freaky happens. Sometimes those extra seeds grow later on. Cool! Since I am a Nervous Nelly, I leave both seeds to do their thing. Either both will grow to be regular tomato plants together, or one will die. But, Nervous Nelly doesn't remove - just in case the other one dies back. If you're a Nervous Nelly too, leave them. You can't pull out and replant. Taproot - so they don't survive. Other than that, enjoy the experience. ;)
