One reason tomatoes are easy to grow is that they're tough plants. Even with a little neglect, your tomato plants will flourish — and produce fruit all season long — as long as they receive sufficient water and sunlight, per TK.

According to Grow Veg, tomatoes grow best with at least eight hours of sun. Just leave your plant where it can get the most light, and let the magic happen. But part of what makes tomatoes easy to grow is that they're adaptable. Per Gardening Know How, tomatoes can grow in shade as well as indirect sunlight. The only downside to less light is that your plant will produce less fruit.

Tomatoes do need regular watering, but that part is easy, too. After the top soil dries — but before it is severely dehydrated — give your plants a drink. Pots with drainage holes will help your plant from rotting in case of overwatering. For even more convenient watering, try the gardening hack of DIY plant waterers. It helps to streamline the process and makes for a fun recyclable craft.
