Lighting Tips. Proper lighting duration is just as important as the light intensity. Tomatoes require at least eight hours of direct sunlight daily or 16 hours of artificial light per day. If you are growing seedlings indoors in spring when they don't receive eight hours of sunlight, you can supplement the natural sunlight with artificial light after sunset to equal 16 hours.
How to Plant and Care for Tomatoes. Tomatoes run on warmth; plant in late spring and early summer except in zone 10, where they are a fall and winter crop. Devote a prime, sunny spot to growing tomatoes. Tomatoes need at least 6 to 8 hours of sun to bring out their best flavors. You will need to stake, trellis, or cage most tomato plants to keep them off the ground. Decide on a support plan before you set out your plants, then add that support directly after planting. Give each plant enough room to grow.
