It is better to plant plants in a checkerboard pattern.
Seedlings are planted only when the height of the seedlings reaches 20-25 cm. The growing season of the bush is 100-120 days, after which the first fruits begin to form.
The bush is leafy, so the seedlings are planted in a checkerboard pattern. A distance of 50 cm is observed between the rows, and 70 cm between the holes.The planting depth is about 2 cm.
Care
Often the lower leaves on the bush wither. To save the rest of the bush, it is recommended that you trim off any damaged areas. During watering, the pressure should be moderate, otherwise the root system will not be able to absorb all the nutrients.
With proper feeding, the growth of the bush is enhanced. For these purposes, organic and mineral substances are alternated. With sluggish seedlings, the emphasis is on nitrogen fertilizers. For the development of the root system, phosphorus preparations are used. Potassium compounds are used to improve taste characteristics.
Carrying out a garter bush is mandatory: this way the stem will receive more nutrients and oxygen, thanks to which the yield will increase.
Pinching is also important. Side shoots should be removed at least once a week so that the main stem fully receives the nutrients necessary for fruit development.
