After germination, the protection is removed, the container is transferred to a well-lit place, if necessary, special lamps are used.
It is best to form bushes in 1 stem. Superprize tomatoes do not need intensive care. Moderate watering every 5 days will be enough for them - the schedule is violated only during prolonged periods of extreme heat. At the same time, the soil is loosened, weeded, getting rid of weeds.It is necessary to fertilize plants for the entire growing season no more than 4 times, with a full complex composition.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
