Features of cultivation

The soil into which the seeds will be planted also needs to be prepared. The best solution is to additionally fertilize it with organic and mineral substances. For sowing, small depressions are made, which are irrigated with water. To preserve the temperature balance, the container is covered with a film on top.

Care for sprouts

Для ростков необходимы освещение и поддержание температуры

Sprouts need lighting and maintaining temperature

The appearance of the first shoots indicates normal development, and also that the seedlings need good lighting. To do this, the container can be moved closer to natural light (window sill). If the weather is cloudy, the problem can be solved by fluorescent lighting. The ambient temperature should be 17-20 ° C, only under these conditions the sprouts will develop without deviations and, as a result, will give a good yield.

Planting seedlings

As soon as the leaves appear, you can begin preparing the soil in the open.

For better adaptation and to prevent disease, the soil is treated with special fertilizers. After that, the pick begins. This is a simple procedure, during which the plants are planted in separate containers to strengthen the root system.

Landing is carried out only when the weather has stabilized and there are no strong temperature jumps. This hybrid does not tolerate frost, so you should worry about preserving the bush in advance. Plant 3 plants per 1 sq. Km. m. The gardener forms a bush in 2 stems, the branches need support.
