Recommendations for growing the Firework tomato variety
Seeds for seedlings are planted 60 days before planting in the ground. About three plants are planted per 1 square meter of land in a permanent place. The growth rate of tomato bushes is affected by lighting, heat, moisture, and nutrition.
When growing tomatoes in a greenhouse or in open ground, it is necessary to install supports, since without them it is not possible to cultivate the Firework variety. The second stem of the bush is formed from the stepson, while getting rid of all the others. This allows you to speed up and increase the harvest.
When the season comes to an end, the upper part of the shoot is cut off and a few leaves are left above the last cluster. This is done to ensure that the bush spends all its micronutrients to ripen the last fruits. The lower stepsons need to be rooted if there is free space. To do this, you need to dig the “bare” stem into moist soil.
When growing bushes of the Firework variety, you need to constantly get rid of the lower, diseased, old leaves. Such bushes are better ventilated, well lit and less susceptible to disease attacks.
