Действительно ли не пасынковать?

Для штамбового детерминанта это типично: пасынки обычно слабые или их мало. Если появился грубый пасынок — удалите для облегчения куста в тени.

Листья курят на балконе

Солёный ветер с улицы, грибковые пятна от сырости — уберите вглубь лоджии, улучшите поток воздуха, не мочите лист вечером.

Growing conditions

Frost resistance zone

Can't stand frost; on the loggia, the pot cools down “thinner” at night than the bed - cover the box or bring it in when the temperature drops below ~12–14°C at the root.

Temperature range

20–26°C for ovary; the cold from the glass on the windowsill at night reduces the yield - it is better to move it away from the frame or insulate the pan.

Lighting

South/southwest loggia; glass reduces insolation - additional lighting in spring and autumn. Open balcony: protection from dry wind by spraying air (not a leaf in the midday heat).

Also suitable: North: 12-14 hour lamp only and reflective screen behind pot.

Nice neighbors.

Frequently asked questions(2)

: This is typical for a standard determinant: the stepsons are usually weak or few in number. If a rough stepson appears, remove it to lighten the bush in the shade.
: Salty wind from the street, fungal stains from dampness - remove them deeper into the loggias, improve air flow, do not wet the leaves in the evening.
