Growing tips

Germination period approx. 10 days. Sow around mid-March at a sowing depth of 0.5 cm/0.2 in. Ideally, the temperature should be above 20°C/68°F - approx. 25°C/77°F so that the seeds germinate quickly. As soon as the first or second pair of leaves has formed, the seedlings should be separated/piked. To do this, plant them in 9x9cm pots or similar and place them deeper; the stem may also be placed under the soil, as it also forms roots, which gives the plant stability and ensures a good basic supply. Water, fertilize, tie up and pinch out regularly. Further growing tips for the pole tomato variety.
