Landing rules
When growing a Mahitos tomato, you should pay attention to the quality of the soil: the further development of the plant and the future harvest depend on it. The first step is to create an ideal seedbed. For these purposes, humus, peat, sand and ordinary garden soil are used. All ingredients are mixed in equal proportions, after which seeds are planted there. The soil is pre-treated with a weak solution of manganese so that pests do not start.
Seeds are placed to a depth of no more than 1 cm. A distance of 4 cm is maintained between individual containers.
The distance between the rows should be at least 10 cm. After planting, the containers are recommended to be covered with plastic wrap and left in this position for several days. The temperature in the greenhouse must be at least 25 ° C. After several leaves appear on the seedlings, it should be planted in separate personal containers. In this case, the distance between the rows should be at least 100 cm, and between the holes - 40 cm.
Care
Until the first shoots are formed, the seeds should receive a sufficient amount of oxygen. For this purpose, the film is removed every day for half an hour. The main thing is to monitor the temperature regime. The temperature should not be lower than 20 ° C. If the soil begins to dry out slowly, it needs to be watered with a little water.
You also need to monitor the level of illumination. If the landing occurred at a time when the day lasts less than 12 hours, additional lighting devices should be installed. Watering should be frequent, done every 3 days, but not abundantly, otherwise the root system will rot. Also carry out the formation of a bush in 2 stems. The amount of mineral fertilizers is minimized. The garter is carried out when the plant is just gaining growth.
Do not forget about removing unnecessary leaves. Only those that prevent the sun's rays from reaching the fruit are removed. Pruning is carried out in hot climates so that moisture cannot evaporate. For tomatoes to have a rich solid color, substances containing potassium or magnesium are used.
