Growing and care
After planting tea rose seedlings in a permanent place, caring for them does not end. Tomatoes require pinching and tying. If adult bushes are not tied up, then they will creep along the ground, and all the fruits will eventually simply rot on the ground, not having time to ripen.
It is also necessary to form a bush of tomatoes Tea rose so that fruiting is abundant and uniform. You need to pinch all the side shoots, leaving 1-2 main branches, which will be the basis of the stem.
When planting seedlings, you can water it with Kornevin solution for early rooting. And also this drug will help plants to survive the adaptation period in a new place less painfully.
After the seedlings take root and grow, it is advisable to add nitrogen-containing fertilizers, for example, urea, to the soil. Granules are diluted at the rate of 2 tbsp. l. 10 liters of water. Watering rate - 2 liters for one plant. Such dressings must be carried out every 10 days before flowering.
