• after about 15-20 days, it is necessary to carry out a second feeding of the tomatoes. And for this, potassium salt and superphosphate are used. They allow you to stimulate the metabolism of tomatoes, as well as improve the taste characteristics of future fruits;
• when tomatoes enter the flowering stage, they need a boric acid-based solution to bloom more abundantly. After all, the level of fruiting depends on this;
• in order for the tomatoes to bear fruit safely, it is necessary to additionally feed them not only with phosphorus, but also with potassium fertilizers, which are excellent for tomato crops.

Some natural organic fertilizers can also be used. A wood ash additive will be especially helpful. It can be embedded directly into the ground, as well as tinctures based on wood ash.

Formation the bush is carried in one stem. And also from the gardener is required weekly pinch plant, pinch stepsons, leaving only fertile branches.

If tomatoes of this variety are in a state of high humidity, then this can lead to the development of dangerous fungal diseases. You can determine a fungal disease by the appearance of the plant.
