Growing and care

There are several basic conditions for preparing a plant for planting, and this applies to all varieties - both early and mid-season, and late. In order to get an excellent harvest, it is necessary to prepare the soil in advance.

It is best to start work in the autumn, so it will be easier for top dressing to be absorbed into the soil and saturate it with all the necessary nutrients and trace elements.

It is necessary to start with the fact that the terrain is carefully cleaned. Remnants of crops that grew before, as well as weeds, should be removed from it. This will help reduce the risk that a plant that will grow in the future will become infected with viral or fungal diseases, or be attacked by pests.

The soil can be processed in layers, while adding organic fertilizers and mineral components. And then the soil must be carefully dug up so that the substances are distributed fairly evenly together with the soil.

Organic matter is not only manure, but also bird droppings and mullein. You can also use horse manure in some cases. Since it contains a fairly high percentage of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus, which have an excellent effect on the growth of the culture, on its adaptation to new conditions of open ground.

The best crop yield is given in areas that are well lit. When germinating seedlings, containers can be placed on balconies. If there is not enough lighting, then you can also purchase special phytolamps.

Tomatoes should not be planted in an area where peppers or eggplants were previously grown, as they are not good precursors for tomatoes. After these crops, the soil is very depleted and needs to be restored. Only after 2-3 years, tomatoes can be planted in the same area, if necessary.

As for the temperature range, it also has its own specifics. Usually pink tomatoes can survive even when temperatures drop. But if we talk about the maximum temperature, then it is about +35 degrees.

Of course, temperatures vary depending on which region the pink tomatoes are grown in and what the particular variety's requirements are, which is also very important.

Growing seeds

Germinating seeds for seedlings is a very important stage. Tomato seeds are best planted in the ground around the very beginning of spring. In order to increase the chances of germination, the seeds are disinfected, and the most viable ones are also selected. Empty seeds must be removed immediately, they still will not give any positive result.

You can plant seeds in a mixture that includes peat and soil, which was purchased in special stores. Depending on the ripening time of the variety itself, seedlings are formed. Seeds are sown to a depth of no more than 2.5 centimeters. And if you deepen them too much, then the culture may simply not germinate.

In order for the seeds to sprout faster, it is recommended to place the containers at a temperature of no more than +15 degrees, but it should not fall below either. The first shoots under favorable conditions can form in about 7-10 days.

To destroy all harmful bacteria and fungal spores in the soil, it is necessary to disinfect it with manganese or a solution based on copper sulfate. Planting holes are dug at a distance of up to half a meter, it all depends on the variety and on what size the plants themselves are.

Seedlings planted on the territory are buried in fertile soil and then thoroughly moistened. The approximate period of adaptation of seedlings to new conditions is 10 days. In general, plants need consistent watering according to their schedule. And also the introduction of all the necessary components to maintain the vital activity of the plant at various stages of its development.

Diseases to which pink tomatoes are susceptible

Late blight is one of the diseases that can affect a plant. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to process tomatoes. For this, a mustard-copper solution is used. They also spray tomatoes with special preparations that allow them to fight bacteria and pests.

Thus, observing these rules, you can protect the plant, as well as make it strong, and increase the level of fruiting. Also, in accordance with the schedule, it is necessary to apply mineral phosphorus fertilizers, organic fertilizers and complex agents, thanks to which the plant will adapt better, and its root system will be more stable and strong.

In general, the gardener is required to water, feed, and control the condition of the plant, since some bacteria and pests may not show themselves at first glance, but then the plant should still be treated. Sometimes preventive measures are much more effective than the process of treating diseases and attacks from pests.
