There are many varieties of tomatoes. If you want to plant tomatoes on the balcony, you can choose the planting conditions according to your own needs. Before planting, we choose the planting season and can broadcast it twice a year. April and May are the best seasons for planting, and the autumn sowing time is from the end of July to August.
Seeding container
When sowing seeds, we can choose containers according to the size of varieties. Larger varieties choose larger and deeper containers, and smaller varieties choose smaller containers.
Soil selection
Eggplant vegetables that have not been planted for three years should be selected in the soil, and not less than 30% of decomposed organic fertilizer should be mixed. Only fertile soil can grow tomatoes.
grow seedlings
Soak the seeds with hot water before sowing, and then clean them with clear water. Then wrap it with wet cloth to accelerate germination, and keep the temperature between 25-30 degrees. Most of the bald heads are exposed, and the number is about two-thirds. When the soil is covered with a thin layer of about one centimeter, it can germinate in 3-5 days at a temperature of 20-25 degrees. I want to remind you in particular that you should go to a regular store to buy qualified seeds.
After about two or three leaves come out, they can be moved into containers for planting. When you have 4-6 leaves, you should start watering them. After that, it can survive and manage normally.
Sowing is more difficult than sowing. In order to be more successful, you can buy seedlings and plant them directly.
Daily water management
Tomatoes are not very drought tolerant. Pay attention to water control and water balance during the growth period. Not more today, less tomorrow. Just keep the soil moist. Many fruits crack easily, which is caused by uneven watering.
Fertilize soil or land
Don't apply too much nitrogen fertilizer in the early stage, otherwise it will be difficult to blossom. Results It was enough to apply decomposed organic fertilizer 1 time in the early stage, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer were the main ones at this time. Every time picking, planting and fertilizing, the investment will be rewarded.
temperature
Tomato is a plant that likes temperature and light, and the most suitable growth temperature is 15 to 25 degrees. Afraid of cold and heat, it is still a delicate plant. When it is hot, it should be shaded to avoid exposure.
Pollen ...
Tomatoes are self-pollinating plants, so there will be cases where flowers will not bear fruit. At this time, artificial pollination will be used. The method is also very simple, just gently sweep each stamen with a clean brush.
Comb fruit
If handled properly, tomatoes will bear many fruits. If there are too many fruits, we should thin them. Generally, it is enough to leave four to six fruits per ear.
I would also like to remind my friends that if the varieties of tomatoes are relatively large and the plants are relatively tall, it is best to support them with wooden sticks at this time.
When the fruit is red or yellow, it is ripe and we can pick it and eat it. Planting vegetables and fruits on the balcony at home can reduce economic expenses and satisfy your desire for success.
