The tomato variety "King of Kings" is considered one of the best species among experienced gardeners.

If you are not yet familiar with it, we offer you the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , who spoke about the nuances of caring for the King of Kings.

Pinching out stepsons

When growing tomatoes of this variety, it is necessary to regularly pinch the tops of the shoots, as well as remove excess shoots longer than 6 cm. This procedure is carried out at least 3 times during the entire growing period.

Watering

The King of Kings is watered as needed, approximately once every 4 days, using warm water and pouring it directly under the root to avoid moisture getting on the leaves and possible development of fungal infections.

Weeding and loosening

Caring for the bushes of this variety includes weeding and loosening the soil after each watering. At first, loosening should be shallow so as not to damage the young root system. Over time, hilling is added to these procedures.
