Growing and care advice
Korolevich is recommended for growing indoors and outdoors by seedling method:
- Sowing should be done in March, on a previously prepared and slightly compacted soil, mulch on top with a soil layer or peat. The mulch layer should not exceed 1 cm.
- Further, the seedlings must be shed with warm water through a sieve so as not to wash out the thin top layer. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place in a warm place. The recommended temperature for germination is +25 degrees.
- When the seedlings hatch, the film should be removed, and the seedlings should be moved to a bright place. And during the first week, maintain the temperature regime within + 14-16 degrees, then increase to + 20-22 degrees.
- The appearance of the first true leaves means that it is time to dive the sprouts into separate containers.
- At the age of 60–65 days, when the sprouts already have 6–7 leaves and the first flower cluster has formed, the seedlings should be transplanted to their permanent habitat.
- It is recommended to plant the bushes at a distance of half a meter from each other, and put organic fertilizers in the holes before planting.
- In the process of growth, the tomato requires the formation of one or two stems and tying to a support, since the plant tends to bend under the weight of the fruit.
- Despite the name, the King's son is not very picky about care and attention. It is enough to provide tomatoes with regular watering and periodic top dressing, as well as from time to time to loosen the soil between the bushes and huddle them.
Fruit ripening occurs gradually, which allows you to enjoy them until September.
