GROWING FEATURES:

Seeds are sown for seedlings from February to April in light, nutritious soil with the addition of superphosphate, potassium fertilizers, and wood ash. Sowing depth is up to 1 cm. Seedlings require good lighting and moderate watering with warm water. After the appearance of two true leaves, picking is carried out. Planting in a greenhouse or open ground is done in April–May in well-warmed soil.

It is recommended to water the holes with hot water before planting. The bushes are tied to a support; pruning is desirable, but a few lower side shoots can be left for additional harvest. During the flowering and fruit set period, regular watering with warm water and fertilizing with organic or mineral fertilizers at least twice a week are necessary. The soil should be regularly loosened, avoiding damage to the roots.
