Why are most of my cherry tomatoes splitting? I have been watering them every day that it does not rain.
A lot of them split last year also.
Cherry tomatoes normally will split when they are over watered. Water wisely, always try to make sure the plants dry a bit between waterings that is what encourages root growth and a healthy root system. If you are watering in pots always make sure water runs out of the bottom of the pot and discard that excess water, never leave the plant sitting in water. If you are planting in the ground be sure that your soil has good drainage and always add nutrition when first planting such as compost, peat moss if needed etc.
