It is more convenient to plant the seeds in separate peat pots, to a depth of no more than one centimeter. So that the seedlings do not stretch, but form ovaries, the first week does not need to raise the temperature above 18 C. During this period, it is necessary to introduce root formation stimulants. 10 days after that - saltpeter in the proportion of a tablespoon to 10 liters of water. Saltpeter in a concentrated form is found in organic fertilizers, but there is a risk of burning the crop with them.

The best choice of organic matter for a novice summer resident is cow dung.

The shoots are treated with the means for the formation of ovaries, spraying them over the sheet.

Side branches (stepchildren) inhibit the development of the bush and require removal. The earlier the stepchildren are removed, the less painful the plant tolerates.
