The Minimato: Tomato Plant Designed to Grow Indoors
By Michelle Fabio
Israeli company Nirit Seeds Ltd. has come up with what it calls a “fool proof” and the world’s first interactive tomato plant—the Minimato.
It’s a dwarf cherry tomato plant that grows to about 14” and is designed for growing in the home. For the most inexperienced (but willing to learn) harvesters out there, there is even a website in the works to help out with any questions.
The Minimato is to be bought when its first fruits are just ripening so at that point, all the new caretaker needs to do is place it in a sunny spot and add a bit of water. If all goes well, the Minimato will last about two months and give you not only tomatoes (about 50) but also some living home decoration—kind of like a fern but with fruit!
