I told my grandma I like plants (small indoor ones). She bought me a tomato and chilli plant. I don’t know what to do with them. – Reddit Post

It was really sweet of her, and I appreciate the gesture, but maybe should’ve been more specific.

Now I have two actual food-producing plants that I have zero idea how to take care of.

I live in Canada, in a condo, and right now they’re sitting on my northeast-facing balcony. I’m not sure if that gives them enough sunlight, or if I need to move them around during the day. I also don’t know how much to water them, what kind of soil they like, or if I need to re-pot them.

I’d love to keep them alive (and maybe even grow something edible?), so if anyone has tips on how to care for tomato and chili plants in a condo setting, I’m all ears.
