Siam Edible Potted Tomato

Siam is a compact, determinate cherry tomato bred for edible potted displays on a windowsill or patio. PanAmerican Seed describes its small, round, bright-red fruit as sweet and productive, with maturity about 70–84 days after transplanting.

Its listed mature size is about 7–9 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide, making it suitable for a small pot with adequate drainage. Yellow tomato flowers precede the edible berries. ## Growing conditions Set the pot in full sun and use a fertile, well-drained growing medium. Tomatoes prefer loamy soil with regular moisture, but PanAmerican Seed recommends growing Kitchen Minis plants on the dry side and supporting fruit weight with a small stick near the stem when flowering.

Keep the plant in bright light, turn indoor pots occasionally, and harvest ripe fruit promptly for fresh eating and recipes.
