Features of cultivation

Sow the seeds in March. Lightly compact the soil before sowing. After sowing, cover the seeds with a layer of soil containing peat and black soil, water with warm water, and cover with plastic wrap. Leave the containers in a room with a temperature of up to 25ºC. Once the seedlings emerge, remove the plastic wrap and place them in a bright location.

During the first 7 days of seedling growth, the temperature should be between 15 and 16ºC, then 25ºC. The seedlings should be transplanted after two leaves have formed. They are transplanted into a greenhouse or open garden bed after 60-65 days. By this time, the seedlings should have 6-7 leaves and one ovary.

The soil should be fertile and rich in nutrients. Plants should be fertilized with organic and mineral fertilizers every two weeks. The bushes should be watered, pruned, side shoots removed, and weeded. To prevent diseases and control insects, plants can be treated with insecticides.

The plant has a tall stem, so it needs to be tied to a support. Stake the branches to prevent them from sagging under the weight of the harvest. When pinching out side shoots, leave 1-2 stems to increase the yield. This variety requires care, watering and other agricultural practices, so its cultivation requires experience.
