The nuances of care
Everyone has the right to determine the time of planting seeds independently, depending on the planned harvest. It should be borne in mind that the average ripening time is just over 2 months. For example, if planted in early May, harvest can be expected in early July.
The cultivation technique is no different from the standard technology... When planting plants in a container, it is recommended to fill in 2-3 cm of expanded clay or sand at the bottom of the container to prevent problems with root decay in the future. In the process of growing up, the plant independently limits its growth. Low shoots are easy to care for and do not require tying.
It is worth considering that, like most early-maturing determinant species, the Lukoshko variety on the window is relatively capable of tolerating shade and needs sufficient light rays.This feature must be taken into account when growing on a window and choosing a place for installing containers with seedlings. You can grow the plant in large slides or baskets.
It is worth considering the peculiarity of the temperature regime in the apartment. If the apartment is kept at a temperature of 23 C, then at the window glass at this moment the value is 5 degrees lower. Tomato variety is able to grow and bear fruit at temperatures not lower than 17 C... At lower temperatures, the roots of the plant will begin to rot. When the outside temperature drops, it is recommended to cover the glass surface of the window with a film, and install slats under the container.
In case of insufficient humidity in the room, it is necessary to increase the value of the indicator by installing additional pallets with water in the room. Leaf curling symptoms indicate a lack of moisture in the room. To better supply the plant with air, it is necessary to periodically loosen the soil.
During the ripening period, individual bushes may fall to one side due to the severity of individual brushes with tomatoes and the disproportionate distribution of weight. In this case, it is recommended to provide the plant with an additional support point or tie it up.
