Tomatoes of the Lukoshko variety for the window belong to a variety of early determinate varieties. The ripening period on average ranges from 80 to 95 days. Plantings have the following characteristics:
[toc]
- short stature, the height of the tallest stems does not exceed 40 cm;
- small leaves with a rich dark green color;
- strong, resistant to external influences trunks.
The variety is suitable for planting in small containers and allows for cultivation at home.
The inflorescence belongs to the intermediate type. On average, there are from 8 to 10 fruits on the cluster at the time of ripening. The bush withstands heavy loads with dignity and does not break under the weight of fruit clusters.
The fruits of the plant are suitable for canning in whole form; due to their taste, they are suitable for fresh consumption. The thick skin withstands temperature well and does not burst during heat treatment. Thanks to this feature, winter preparations look great and look appetizing.
Description of fruits
Tomato fruits have a round shape. Tomatoes have a smooth surface and do not contain inclusions. Unripe vegetables have a characteristic light green color, with a green spot at the base. Ripe tomatoes at the time of harvest have a bright red color. The tomato has medium pulp density. Reviews of the tomato Lukoshko on the window confirm the good taste of the variety. The weight of the tomatoes ranges from 15 to 20 grams.
The yield of a variety depends on the conditions under which it is grown. Under film shelter conditions, up to 2.8 kg of tomatoes can be grown from each square meter. Reviews from those who grew tomatoes of this variety speak of the optimal ratio of bush size, area occupied and yield.
Nuances of care
Everyone has the right to determine the time of planting seeds independently, depending on the planned harvest. Please note that the average ripening time is just over 2 months. For example, if planted in early May, harvest can be expected in early July.
Agricultural cultivation technology is no different from standard technology. When planting plants in a container, it is recommended to add 2–3 cm of expanded clay or sand to the bottom of the container to prevent problems with root rotting in the future. As the plant matures, it limits its growth on its own. Low shoots are easy to care for and do not require tying up.
It is worth considering that, like most early-ripening determinate species, the Lukoshko variety on the window is relatively able to tolerate shadow and needs sufficient light rays. This feature must be taken into account when growing on a window and choosing a place to install containers with seedlings. The plant can be grown in large slides or baskets.
It is worth considering the specific temperature conditions in the apartment. If the apartment maintains a temperature of 23 C0, then the window glass at this moment has a value 5 degrees lower. The tomato variety is able to grow and bear fruit at temperatures not lower than 17 C0. At lower temperatures, the plant's roots will begin to rot. When the temperature outside drops, it is recommended to cover the glass surface of the window with film and install slats under the container.
If there is insufficient humidity in the room, it is necessary to increase the value of the indicator by installing additional trays with water in the room. Symptoms in the form of curling leaves indicate insufficient humidity 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 heaviness of individual clusters of tomatoes and the disproportionality of weight distribution. In this case, it is recommended to provide the plant with an additional support point or tie it up.
