What are the planting methods of balcony tomatoes? Two tricks to make tomatoes more productive!

Balcony tomatoes are not only beautiful but also can be picked for food, rich in nutritional value. So, what are the cultivation methods of balcony tomatoes? Xiao Bian tells you two coups to make tomatoes high yield!

1. The cultivation method of balcony small tomatoes

1. Preparation before planting

soil preparation

Soil is the root of vegetable growth, in fact, soil selection is not very difficult. Dig directly from the flower bed and sift out large particles. Conditions of soil disinfection, mixed with organic fertilizer can be used.

seed treatment

All you have to do is soak the seeds in water at 55 ° C for 15-20 minutes, then soak them in water at 28 ° C for 24 hours, changing the water twice. This is disinfection.

The disinfected seeds are placed in wet towels, wrapped up, placed in an environment of 28 ° C, washed once a day with clean water, and germinated in 1 to 2 days.

2. Planting

Dig a 1 cm hole in the soil, put the germinated seeds in, cover with 0.5 cm of soil, and place in an environment with a temperature of 25℃. 3-4 Days, the leaves of the seeds will emerge from the soil, at this time maintain the same temperature during the day, at night the temperature will drop to 20℃ stop watering. When the leaves grow to 4-5 pieces, water them again, and they need to see dry and wet.

3. Transplanting

The seedlings grow 4-5 leaves and can be transplanted. Remove the seedlings from the small pots with soil, plant them in large pots, and irrigate them thoroughly. In principle, no fertilization or watering should be done within one week after transplanting, but according to the actual situation, the soil should be watered properly if it is too dry.

4. Flowering

After transplanting for about 14 days, the cherry began to grow in the big pot, and after the plant blossomed, it began to water and fertilize, once every 7-10 days, and loosen the soil. The balcony temperature is controlled at 25-30℃ during the day and 15 - 20℃ at night. When the plant grows to about 40 cm, it needs a support to support its trunk so that it does not collapse under the weight of the fruit.

Cherry tomatoes are bisexual flowers that can be self-pollinated. Tapping the plant gently during flowering can promote pollination. Also often prune the lateral branches, so as not to affect the flowering of the lateral branches.

Second, tomato high yield small coup

Coup one: more fertilization after flowering, tomatoes like fertilizer, potted soil less, so, thin fertilizer is the guarantee of tomato results!

Coup 2: Just start the pot of soil only need to fill half to two-thirds. After flowering, break off the following branches, add compost or nutrient soil to the pot, and fill the soil near the edge of the pot. The branch buried in the earth will grow roots again. In this way, the more roots, the more nutrients absorbed, the more fruits the tomato will naturally produce.
