While it is true that tomatoes can very well grow in pots, there are a few important things to consider when you are trying to increase your chances of success with this endeavor. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that you will want to know how large the tomatoes you will be planting will grow. There are some tomato plants which will mature to a relatively small size while others can grow as large as seven feet tall.

This means that you will need to make a point of dong your research and investing in the right pot for the type of tomatoes which you are going to be planting. The more time and effort you invest in doing this research, the better your chances will be of successfully growing tomatoes. Those who are going about growing their own tomatoes will want to keep in mind that they might do well to choose a variety of tomato that does not demand a lot of water, as it can be difficult to meet stringent watering requirements when growing them in a pot.
