• dive into individual pots after the first two leaves appear;
• planting in the open ground of a two-month mature plant with five leaves;
• top dressing after rooting and regular watering.

During planting, you can apply a non-standard form - to plant plants in long grooves to better retain moisture and simplify watering by the inlet method. This method is convenient for the device mulch, if necessary, the retention of additional moisture.

It is important to treat bushes from bacterial diseases, especially late blight. Plants should not be planted very thickly so that excessive moisture does not linger, and air remains between the bushes.The distance between adult plants should be 40-50 centimeters. Periodic loosening of the soil, removal of weeds and fertilizing the tomato with organic fertilizers is welcome.

When several inflorescences ripen, the bush under its own weight can be damaged in the stem, therefore, it requires additional support, although it reaches a height of only 70-75 cm.

With moderately dry soil, the bush spreads on the ground without losing its yield, but the color of a tomato can be uneven only until it is fully ripe. When growing tomatoes in greenhouse conditions, it is possible to remove unnecessary shoots, which take a lot of strength and moisture for growth. Tomatoes in greenhouses can grow slightly higher than in open ground, reaching 80-90 centimeters in growth, and require additional tying plants on trellises.
