As soon as 2 real leaves appear on the sprouts, the excess plants are pulled out and thrown away, or transplanted into cups. To keep the seedlings strong, the pots are placed on a sunny windowsill in a moderately warm room.
If the variety will be grown outdoors, a week before planting, the seedlings begin to adapt to environmental conditions. To do this, the pots are taken out into the street in a semi-shaded place, gradually increasing the time spent in the fresh air. Seedlings that have undergone such training tolerate diving almost painlessly and quickly resume growth.
Care cherry tomatoes not much different from caring for large-fruited varieties. In order to feel the taste of small tomatoes, the bushes need to be provided with comfortable conditions for growth. The list of manipulations for the care of this culture should include the following actions:
- Watering. Despite the fact that the variety is famous for its high immunity, do not forget about the preferences of the vegetable crop. Like all varieties, the Cherry Lisa hybrid does not tolerate high humidity. However, you need to water the plant a little more often from large-fruited species. So that the plants actively form the ovaries, and the skin on the fruits does not crack, the bushes are watered once every 2 days with a moderate amount of water.
- Top dressing.In the first half of the growing season, nitrogen fertilizers are applied under the tomatoes, and in the second, potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.
- Formation. So that the plant does not waste nutrients on unnecessary stepchildren, but directs them to the formation of fruits, the bush is formed into 2 stems. Since the fruits are tied very densely on the bushes, in order to avoid breaking or breaking the stems, they are tied to supports.
- Loosening and weeding. Manipulation improves aeration and water permeability of the soil, and also prevents the development of fungal diseases, which often affect thickened crops. In addition, tomatoes growing in clean beds receive more nutrients and, accordingly, produce a large number of fruits.
