How to grow tomatoes?

How do you grow Krasotka f1 tomatoes? The seeds are ready for planting by the end of March. They are planted in soil containing peat, sand, and ash, or you can purchase a ready-made substrate. Choose a shallow container for planting. The seeds are planted in rows, 3-5 cm apart, at a depth of 1 cm. To speed up germination, the soil is sprayed with water and covered with plastic film. The plastic film is not removed until the first shoots appear.

Pricking out is done after 2-3 true leaves have formed. At this stage of development, the plant requires warmth and light. Protect the seedlings from direct sunlight. Instead of watering, it is recommended to mist the soil with a spray bottle once a week.

Hardening off seedlings is an important step, especially if they are being planted outdoors. Two weeks before the planned transplant, acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions. To do this, expose them to fresh air daily, initially for a few minutes, and then gradually increase the time.

The tomato is a determinate variety. The plant is not very tall, reaching a height of 80 cm. As it grows, the stems are shaped and side shoots are moderately removed. The stem stops growing after 5-6 flower clusters have formed. Since tomatoes have a small root system, 1 or 2 stems are left during shaping. This ensures the fruits receive adequate nutrition and preserve their flavor.

To prevent disease and ensure the bushes feel comfortable, plant them in a single row, 50-60 cm apart. Tying them to supports will provide additional support. Remove lower leaves that touch the ground to facilitate watering and prevent fungal infections.

The soil needs to be loosened periodically. This improves the soil's drainage properties. This should be done very carefully to avoid damaging the roots. Weeds should be monitored closely and removed promptly. Weeds feed on the fertilizers needed for tomato development.

Below, we'll discuss the specifics of fertilizing tomatoes. When the plant begins to bear fruit, the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer should be drastically reduced or eliminated. This chemical element promotes the growth of green mass, which is absolutely not necessary at the time of fruit filling.

When fruit sets, the plant requires boron, manganese, iodine, and potassium. These nutrients contribute to the plumpness of tomatoes and their high sugar content. You can make this fertilizer yourself by mixing wood ash, boric acid, and iodine.

Reviews of the Krasotka variety are positive. People who have been growing tomatoes for many years recommend paying special attention to soil quality. They believe that soil quality plays a significant role in tomato survival. Overall, gardeners are satisfied with the Krasotka variety. They are especially pleased with its pleasant, sweet flavor.
