Growing rules
When planting plants, keep a distance
Every gardener knows the fact that the yield fully depends on the efforts made to grow and care for the plant. Therefore, it is very important to know all the landing rules. First of all, seeds are planted. This should be done several months before the seedlings are placed in the greenhouse. In advance, the seeds should be treated with special substances that will help to disinfect the seed material. This improves the immune system.
Containers should be located in a place where there is a lot of light and moderate temperatures. The ideal temperature range is 22-25 ° C. Planting in a greenhouse is carried out in such a way that no more than 3 plants are located per 1 m2.
Care
Watering should be carried out only at a time when the soil is already dry. Abundant moisture negatively affects the development of the root system and stem. Top dressing should be done every 14 days. Ideally, you will use organic matter in the form of humus. As minerals, preference should be given to superphosphates, potassium salts and ammonium nitrate.
Do not forget that 14 days after planting seedlings, each bush is treated with Bordeaux solution. Tomatoes like Monisto need regular garters. It is also very important to form a bush of 1-2 stems. All side shoots should be broken off. In mid-summer, the top of the plant should be pinched and only a few leaves left.
Prevention measures
The description and characteristics of the variety convince that this variety copes quite well with the invasion of diseases and parasites. But, such parameters should not allow you to ignore preventive measures.
In the fight against slugs, a solution of lime or salt is regularly used. To get rid of aphids or powdery mildew, each bush is treated with medicinal preparations. To protect the plant from fungal diseases, you should regularly ventilate the greenhouse.

Despite the fact that this species has not yet been entered in the State Register, agronomists and ordinary farmers actively resort to growing Monisto on their plots, because these are not only beautiful fruits that can become a table decoration.
