The variety is fruitful. It is possible to remove 6-7 kilograms of tomatoes from each plant.

Sowing material is sown for seedlings in early March. With regard to planting plants in the ground, work should be done between late April and early May.This vegetable crop loves warmth, therefore, for a full-fledged cultivation, you need to create a comfortable microclimate. In open areas, the variety is recommended to be grown only in regions with a warm climate. In other areas, the greenhouse cultivation method is chosen.

The appropriate temperature regime at different times of the day should differ by about 5 degrees. For example, during the day the air temperature should be +25 degrees Celsius, and after sunset +20 degrees.

For self-cultivation of seedlings, a special soil is used. You can buy it in a specialty store or make it yourself. You need to mix 2 parts of garden soil and combine half with river sand or humus. Such a composition can be used both for containers with seedlings and for greenhouses. When using a special soil mixture, plants quickly adapt to a new place and will fully develop.

The branded seed that goes on sale is already ready for germination. Manufacturers process it and prepare it for subsequent planting. The seeds are laid out in containers, sprinkled with a thin layer of earth and moistened with a spray bottle. After that, the container is covered with glass, film and transferred to a warm room with a temperature of about +23 degrees. By the time the seedlings are transplanted, their age should be 2 months. Based on this, you can calculate the exact timing of planting.

The optimal planting pattern for this variety is 40x60 cm.

Tall plants need strong supports, to which the bushes are tied up as they grow. And also formation in one stem is obligatory. This way you can achieve stable fruiting. Do not forget about top dressing.

Fig pink loves moisture. Only warm water is used for irrigation (temperature up to +20 degrees Celsius). During watering, the liquid should not get on the leaves.

Experienced gardeners recommend using ready-made complex formulations, such as "Kristalon", "Master", "Kemira", "Sudarushka" and other mineral fertilizers. And you can also prepare the following composition: 1 tablespoon of potassium monophosphate per 10 liters of water.

When cultivating seedlings in greenhouses, certain conditions must be created for the plants. Plants are transplanted that have reached a height of 30-35 centimeters. By this time, it should have at least 10 full sheets. As a rule, work falls in mid-May. By this time, the soil will warm up enough.

The selected area is treated with a solution of manganese or copper sulfate. These substances effectively fight various infections. Given the active growth of the bushes, at least 50 centimeters of free space must be left between the holes. If the greenhouses are not equipped with stationary trellises, the supports must be installed in advance.

Particularly strong supports are needed for the lower fruit clusters, where the largest tomatoes are formed. Pinching is mandatory. All lateral processes that appear after the second and third brush are removed.

Experienced gardeners recommend installing a drip irrigation system. It gently and regularly moisturizes the soil, maintaining the optimum moisture level. After each irrigation procedure, the greenhouse must be ventilated to prevent moisture stagnation. High humidity provokes the development of rot and other infections.
