Bush bean seedlings begin to be grown in April-April. Planting in the ground or greenhouse is carried out in May–June. Optimal temperature for growth: Optimum 20–25°C. Before planting, it is recommended to harden the seedlings for 7–10 days.
Bush beans require regular watering, especially during the period of active growth and fruit formation. Water with warm water at the root, avoiding getting on the leaves. Lighting conditions: full sun. In hot weather, watering is increased; in cool weather, watering is reduced. Mulching helps retain moisture in the soil.

The main problems when growing bush beans: fungal diseases (powdery mildew, late blight), aphids, spider mites. For prevention, observe crop rotation (do not plant bush beans in one place for 2 years in a row), provide good ventilation, and water at the root. At the first signs of illness, use biological products (Fitosporin, Trichodermin).
The harvested bush beans are stored in a cool, dark place. Before storing, sort them - use damaged fruits first. Optimal storage temperature: 2–5°C at 85–90% humidity. Under the right conditions, bush beans remain fresh for several weeks.
