Growing rules
First of all, it is recommended to plant the seeds. For this, greenhouses are used. Seed planting is carried out 45-60 days before planting in open ground conditions. After the seedlings are ready for planting, you should start choosing the soil. First, it should contain a minimum amount of acids and alkalis. Secondly, it is important that it is located in open areas, where sunlight will enter without problems.
Planting in open ground is carried out at a time when the soil warms up to a temperature of 16 ° C. It is also recommended to loosen the soil so that a sufficient amount of oxygen can enter it. It is necessary to remove all weeds and other foreign matter so as not to obstruct the development of the root system. If you live in the southern region, then planting can be carried out in the early days of May. If the region of your residence is the northern part of the country, then it is better to wait until June.
When planting, a distance of 50-60 cm should be adhered to. But between the holes it should be about 40 cm. The planting depth is 2 cm so that the seedlings form faster and accelerate their growth. There should be no more than 4 plants per 1 m2.
Care
The principle of care consists in regularly loosening and feeding the soil, watering the plant. Loosening of the soil and removal of all weeds should be carried out every two weeks. You should also weed the beds every week to avoid crusting the soil. Watering should be carried out only by the drip method and exclusively with water at room temperature. This will keep the root system from getting hypothermic.
Top dressing of the soil and seedlings can be carried out in several ways:
- The first is to use organic fertilizers. For this, it is recommended to use humus, liquid cow or bird droppings, as well as wood ash.
- The second way is to use minerals. It is best to choose those options that contain a high concentration of potassium, phosphorus or nitrogen. This will increase the yield level.
Diseases and pests
Fortunately, this species is highly immune to common diseases. Therefore, regular spraying is not necessary. Preventive precautions are optional. The main thing is to regularly observe the appearance of the bush.
As a parasite, only the presence of a greenhouse whitefly is possible. To combat it, copper-containing preparations are used.
This is a unique variety that will suit even beginners. He does not require care for himself, but this does not interfere with obtaining a large yield.
