Care Features

The procedure for growing tomatoes in greenhouse conditions is as follows:

1. It is recommended to sow seeds in early March.
2. Peat is recommended as a soil medium. Seeds are sown in individual containers (cups).
3. Before germination, it is recommended to water with warm water.
4. When the first pair of true leaves appears, it is worth fertilizing with nutrients.
5. Transplanting seedlings into the greenhouse should be done in May, but if the spring was cold, it's worth waiting a little longer. This depends primarily on the soil temperature.
6. Immediately before planting, the soil should be loosened. It's worth fertilizing it with humus; this will guarantee a higher yield.
7. The plant is very spreading, so it needs plenty of space. Gardeners recommend planting about three bushes per square kilometer.
8. Further watering should be done exclusively with warm water.
9. The formation of bushes should be carried out in one stem, with rare exceptions - in two. The entire plant should be tied up, not just the stem. This is due to the enormous weight of a large number of fruits.
10. Every two weeks after harvesting the fruit, the plant must be fed with special fertilizers.

There are no difficulties in caring for this variety. All procedures are quite simple and understandable even for inexperienced gardeners.
