The hybrid of the tomato plant "O la-la" boasts high yields. The bushes of the plant are medium, they grow to a maximum height, reaching an indicator of one and a half meters.

Growing

With the timing of planting tomato "O la la" are determined thanks to plans for transplantation into the open ground. There are no strict deadlines, gardeners need to adjust the time for planting a tomato and its further transplantation into open ground based on the characteristics of a particular climatic zone.

  1. Tomatoes are easy to grow from seeds. To do this, you need special pots or a plastic bag.
  2. You can sow seeds from late March to early April, if the gardener plans to grow plants outdoors.In the greenhouse, it is worth starting the sowing of seeds earlier, from late February to mid-March.
  3. Young seedlings should be stored at a temperature of 18 ° C. It is necessary to sow in small pots, and transplant later in containers up to 9 cm deep to allow the plant to form two true leaves.

Young seedlings are available in spring garden stores if the gardener cannot maintain the right conditions for germination and growth, or if he has no place to grow tomato seedlings.

The plant may need support. Therefore, during a transplant, it is worth thinking about the simultaneous installation of a support. Before planting, you need to dig a garden well, water it and tackle it so that the soil has the maximum throughput for air circulation. This not only improves the root structure and allows it to strengthen, but also prevents the development of a number of diseases.

For fertilizer, you should use high-quality compost. If the plant is in danger of frost, shelter is made at night. But for additional protection, it is worthwhile to arrange a mulch for tomatoes after planting. It is not only able to reduce the percentage of moisture evaporation and maintain soil warmth, but also increase the amount of useful components in the soil. As a result, the fruiting level of tomato bushes “O la-la” increases.

Care

  1. According to reviews and advice of gardeners, water the soil on which tomato cultivars "O la-la" are grown deeply and regularly, at least twice a week. Tomatoes do not respond well to dry periods between watering. Preserving the moisture level in the soil will help prevent rot, the formation of black spots on the leaves. They can spread throughout the plant.
  2. As for fertilizer, the formula consists of three macrocells. Nitrogen is most important for foliage growth, phosphorus promotes fruit growth, and potassium is involved in the creation of strong stem and root systems.
  3. Tomatoes of the variety "O la la" require a lot of nutrients. You need to fertilize the land a week before planting and on this day. Tomatoes love phosphorus, which contributes to the formation of fruits. It is not recommended to use a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content when the plants are just starting to develop in the ground and are preparing to tie fruit. Such fertilizer leads to the growth of the bush, and not the fruits.

Gardeners should also pay for fertilizers related to "organic". A number of soil additives, often called "organic", but in fact they are not. The term “organic” in random horticultural language does not refer to the chemical composition of the material, but to the extent that it has been carefully processed, it is toxic to land, animals, and people.

Important! A special criterion is considered for the regime of caring for the variety "O la la" loosening the soil, which is carried out after each watering.
