The hybrid is planted in greenhouse and unprotected conditions.

- 1 bucket of compost;
- 30 g superphosphate;
- 10 g potassium sulfate.
What are the subtleties of care:
- feeding 2 times a month;
- watering 2 times a week, the water norm for 1 bush is 6-7 liters;
- maintaining a bush with 3 trunks.
The fruits are well preserved, lying for up to 3-4 weeks in the dark and cool.
This variety is grown according to the same principle as any other tomato variety - in seedlings.
Productivity primarily depends on the quality of the seeds used:
- They should not be hollow, which is easy to check by immersing them in a saline solution. Full-bodied seeds will sink to the bottom, and those that float should be discarded;
- Deformed seeds are also not used - they will produce low-quality seedlings;
- To prevent diseases, seeds are disinfected by immersing them in a solution of hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate for 10 minutes.
Note! To speed up germination, after planting the seeds, it is recommended to cover the soil in the seedling box with a damp cloth.
Growing tomatoes
To obtain a good harvest when growing Honey tomatoes, the seedling method is used.
How to prepare seeds:
- All seed material (purchased or collected independently) must be treated and processed in a growth simulator before sowing. With the help of a growth stimulator, the percentage of seed germination increases, and the immunity of future plants is strengthened. The best option is aloe juice, which will cope with both tasks. The juice is diluted in water in equal proportions. Soak the seed material for 18 hours;
- Then the planting material is germinated. To do this, place it on a damp cloth and place it in a polyethylene bag. The temperature for germination is approximately +25 ºС. Several times a day, remove the bag for 30 minutes to prevent the seeds from suffocating.
Sowing seed material:
- For sowing, use a ready-made soil mixture purchased at a specialized store;
- The seed material is buried 1 cm, at intervals of 1-2 cm;
- The containers are covered with film and transferred to a warm place;
- After the sprouts appear, the film is removed. Containers are placed in a room with good lighting and the temperature is reduced;
- After 4-5 days, the temperature regime is increased: in the daytime to +22 ºС, at night to +18 ºС;
- Carry out regular, moderate watering using warm water;
- In the phase of two true leaves, the seedlings are picked and fed twice with a weak solution of complex mineral fertilizer.
Rules for planting seedlings:
- Planting begins as soon as the night air temperature reaches +15 ºС;
- Before planting, compost, humus or fertilizers are added to the soil. Wood ash is also added, since it contains a large amount of minerals that help stimulate growth;
- Tomatoes are planted in beds after garlic, onions, carrots or legumes;
- Planting is carried out according to the recommended scheme - 40x60 cm.

Fertilizers for tomatoes Cream
Application period | Composition (per 10 liters of water) |
The beginning of June | · Mullein – 5 l, boric acid – 3 g, nitrophoska – 1 tbsp, microfertilizers – 2 tablets; |
· 0.8 kg of fertilizer is applied to each bush | |
First week of July | Mullein and microfertilizers are mixed with potassium sulfate (1 tbsp.) |
Weekly | Weak solution of manganese (5 g crystals) |
After harvest | 2 kg of organic matter per 1 sq.m. plot (compost or manure) – without diluting with water |
Organic fertilizers are applied to the soil in the fall when digging the area prepared for planting tomatoes next year.
Watering
Cream varieties do not like dry weather, so they need to be watered regularly. But excess moisture is not allowed - this is harmful to the root system. Therefore, during the rainy season and in cool weather, watering is not carried out.
Drip irrigation of tomatoes
The water should be warm enough so that the plants do not get sick. Only the soil around the trunk is watered. To prevent moisture from getting on the foliage and fruits, it is advisable to equip the beds with drip irrigation.
Diseases
On a note! Not all varieties of Cream are disease resistant. To get rid of fungi and bacteria, it is recommended to treat the bushes with Fitosporin, Fundazol, Ridomil. When the first signs of the disease are detected, limp and affected leaves and stems must be removed immediately. To reduce the risk of damage, tomatoes should not be planted next to or after potatoes.
Secrets of Bountiful Harvests
To enjoy fresh tomatoes throughout the year, you should plant varieties with different fruiting periods. Plum-shaped tomatoes with small fruits grow well on a windowsill in winter, followed by greenhouse representatives of larger sizes with early and medium ripening periods. Many of them bear fruit until frost.
Whatever varieties and hybrids are chosen, all are grown through seedlings. March days are best for sowing plum tomato seeds.
The initial stage of cream tomatoes in Russian regions is no different from other varieties and hybrids. Sow seeds in soil rich in nutrients and set up a mini-greenhouse. The room temperature is maintained at least 25 degrees.
Good lighting (at least 14 hours of daylight) and timely feeding will allow tomato seedlings to develop well. Pale leaves and thin, elongated stems will signal a lack of light. Strong bushes with several true tomato leaves dive into separate pots.
The second stage is the active development of the tomato bush. During this period, the plant receives moisture and nutrition. The watering regime must be treated with particular care. Excess water provokes fungal infections in plum tomatoes. Loosening, mulching the soil and airing allow you to regulate the level of humidity around the seedlings. The optimal air humidity for plum tomatoes is 50-60%.
The third stage of tomato development is the planting of bushes in the ground in a permanent place immediately after spring frosts, usually mid-May or early June. By this time, the seedlings already have a developed root system, a strong trunk with a crown of several leaves. The planting pattern for plum tomatoes is checkerboard, the interval between holes depends on the dimensions of the future bush.
Every 14 days, tomato plantings are fertilized with complex compounds containing phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen fertilizing is applied before flowering, so that the plant does not actively begin to grow its crown instead of fruits.
Warning! Late blight is the main enemy of plum-shaped varietal tomatoes. It is imperative to treat the bushes.
The bushes need a lot of sunlight. Lack of light will lead to loss of flower stalks and crops.
The fourth stage is the most enjoyable - harvesting. At this point, if there was enough light, nutrition and moisture, the tomato bushes look healthy, with beautiful, even, tasty tomatoes of the expected size hanging on them.
The temperature inside the greenhouse should not rise above 30 degrees. Pollen is sterilized at such temperatures and there will be no ovaries.
The temperature when growing tomatoes in greenhouses is regulated by ventilation, mulching the soil, and not watering. Watering should be regular and moderate. The volume of moisture increases slightly during the period of active fruit filling. Excess water will lead to shedding of flowers and ovaries, and very rarely to cracks in tomatoes.
Following simple rules will allow you to harvest an enviable harvest of plum tomatoes.
