Rules for growing the variety

Gardeners should understand that caring for the low-growing Detsky tomato variety requires taking certain nuances into account. Although pinching and staking are no longer essential, monitoring stem development and regular maintenance are still essential.

Experienced farmers note that staking tomatoes is a good idea. This exposes the plant to more natural sunlight and protects it from pests. As a result, staking tomato plants increases the chances of successfully achieving the desired results.

Low-growing tomato plants don't always produce side shoots, or they produce them in small numbers. In some situations, pinching out the side shoots is necessary to regulate the plant's load. Otherwise, there's a risk of partial tomato crop loss.

Even low-growing tomatoes require proper and comprehensive care. So, what should you pay special attention to?

1. Soil loosening is essential. Soil condition determines the successful growth of tomatoes. For this reason, it is recommended to loosen the soil to ensure optimal oxygen levels and proper root development. Loosening the soil also involves removing unwanted weeds.
2. Fertilizing is another important task. Using the right nutrient mix improves tomato growth and development. Furthermore, regular fertilizing promotes a large, high-quality harvest. However, over-fertilizing with nitrogen or organic matter is undesirable, as it will cause the plant to stretch, limiting its growth and making it difficult to produce high-quality, ripe tomatoes.
3. Regular, moderate watering is essential. It's best to use warm, settled water for watering tomatoes.

Such comprehensive care is always aimed at obtaining a high-quality harvest.
