How to grow
The Flyashentomaten tomato variety is quite easy to grow. As mentioned above, it is suitable for both greenhouse and open field cultivation.
Before you start planting seeds, you should carefully examine them. They should not have a single defect (for the accuracy of the result, see the description of the appearance of the seeds). Otherwise, they may not germinate.
Many experienced gardeners strongly recommend soaking the seeds for half a day before planting before planting for better growth. For primary seedlings, containers of 500 milliliters are perfect. Important! Under no circumstances should the soil become waterlogged.
Seedlings should be started 90-120 days before planting in the ground. In the southern regions, this should be done in early March. In central Russia - at the end of April. The first crop will begin to appear 100-110 days after seedling.
The "Fleaschentomaten" bush is quite tall, and on the branches the fruits are arranged in clusters of several pieces. In this regard, it is necessary to tie it to a support, otherwise it may fall from the slightest gust of wind. It is recommended to grow a bush in one, maximum two stems. You will also need to pinch the bush.
Water should be abundant, but be sure to watch the weather. If the summer is not very hot, then you should not moisten the soil too much. In hot weather, water should be done every two or three days (depending on temperature and humidity).
This variety is very resistant to most types of ailments. Many recommend prophylactic seed treatment against fungal and viral diseases. Like many other plants, "Flyashentomaten" is susceptible to such a pernicious disease as late blight. If you have found signs of this infection, then the first thing to do is to reduce the amount of watering, and also to ventilate the bushes if they grow in greenhouse conditions.
Important! Watering the Flyashentomaten tomatoes can be done with extremely warm water. Otherwise, there is a high probability of infection with fungal diseases and death of all seedlings.
You should not forget about fertilizing the bush. In order for it to give the maximum yield, fertilizers with a high content of potassium and calcium will be required. Both of these substances stimulate the growth of the bush and also protect it from many diseases.
