Growing rules
Tomatoes should be grown in seedlings.
To grow good plants, Chibis tomato seeds should be planted for seedlings, because not all of them germinate when planted in open ground. The peculiarity is that the seeds of the Chibis tomato variety do not degenerate, like a hybrid.
Those who are going to carry out pinching should adhere to a special planting system.
- distance between rows - 40 cm;
- between holes - about 60 cm.
Without pinching, the distance between the holes and the rows is 60 cm. When planting, it is not necessary to look for ideal soil: this tomato grows in any, even if it does not have high fertility rates.
Care
The main features of the care are as follows:
- frequent loosening of the soil;
- regular, but infrequent watering;
- regular feeding.
All these activities must be carried out so that the root system receives a sufficient amount of water and air. Otherwise, the root system will start to rot and the plant will die. Watering is carried out only as the soil dries up and only with warm water. It is best to use a drip irrigation system, because moisture should not get on the foliage.
Top dressing should include exclusively mineral fertilizers. The first feeding should be carried out 14 days after planting the seedlings. For the best yield indicators, preference is given to substances containing phosphorus, potassium or nitrogen.
Diseases and parasites
Due to the fact that the fruit ripening period is low, Chibis tomatoes do not have time to undergo most diseases. For the same reason, insects and parasites do not have time to negatively affect the plant.
As a preventive measure, it is recommended to spray the soil with a solution of manganese or onion husks before planting. Drugs such as Fofatox or Tabbu come to the rescue.

The Chibis tomato variety is ideal for planting in open ground. First, they do not require constant care. Secondly, they have unique indicators of taste and yield.
