Vibrating the plant shakes pollen loose within the flowers, which then self-pollinate. Tomatoes do not rely on insects for pollination. If tomato plants are grown under cover, you can encourage pollination and fruit set by tapping the stem from time to time. Stop watering around the end of July to encourage the fruit to ripen. This will encourage greater root growth, helping with both nutrient uptake and the plants’ ability to stand up to dry conditions. At the time of final transplant, plants can be buried up to their first pair of true leaves. Bush types benefit from the support of a tomato cage in order to prevent sprawling. Vine varieties will require some kind of support such as a wire to grow up, or a trellis to be tied to as the plant grows.
