- The sprouts do not stretch and do not need additional lighting.
- In the phase of the first two true leaves, the seedlings must be dived.
- The seedlings should be hardened a week before planting in the ground.
- It is important not to overgrow the seedlings. If the seedlings are not planted on time, the plants begin to thin out, and the flowers from the first brushes will fall off. All this will lead to lower yields. Therefore, it is advisable to plant the planting no later than the formation of the first brush.

Reviews
Elena:
I live and grow tomatoes in Krasnoyarsk. I have never met such a stable tomato. Our, already short summer, this year did not indulge in warmth at all. "Spiridon" steadfastly endured all the cold and rain.
Vera:
I have been planting this variety for many years. It begins to bear fruit early and the yield is always excellent. But I never noticed cracking and it lies well.
Ilya:
Last summer, I grew Spiridon tomatoes. Most of all I liked that there was no need to pinch, although I nevertheless removed the lower leaves.
