They cannot grow in dry soil without watering, the humidity of which should be 85-90%, but they love dry and sunny weather.
When there is a lack of moisture in the soil, changes immediately occur with the plants. The leaves begin to curl and the flowers fall off.
However, excess moisture also does not have a very good effect on tomato bushes, because they begin to turn black and the fruits fall off.
When the tomato seedlings are already planted in the ground, they need to be watered well and left for 2-3 days without watering.
Afterwards, water as needed, which is about 1-2 times a week. Low-growing tomato varieties should be watered with 2-3 liters per plant, and tall giants with about 10 liters per bush. It is worth watering the plants once every 5-7 days in dry weather.
Observe your tomato plantings and determine based on their appearance and signs whether watering is necessary.
Water the tomatoes only in the morning, under the stem, and loosen the soil afterwards.
For watering plants, use water heated by the sun.
Do not water with cold water from a hose, as this will result in the loss of half of the crop.
The ideal method of watering tomatoes is considered to be drip irrigation. It will provide the crop with a constant flow of moisture, which will allow the plant to fully develop regardless of weather conditions.
