After dropping tomatoes, growing and care should be carried out strictly guided by some set of recommendations.Tomatoes are very sensitive to light.If it is not enough, the leaves will start to fade, the buds to fall off, and the stems and greatly extend the overall growth of the plant slows down, especially it must be considered, making the cultivation of tomatoes in a greenhouse or caring for seedlings in the room.
Need tomatoes in the water is large enough, at the same time, this plant is drought-tolerant.When the temperature drops should stop watering completely, even if the soil moisture is insufficient.In the event of a mass of fruit ripening should stop watering altogether, especially varieties with limited growth - maturation of the crop in this case, there will come a chorus and increase fruit quality.
