Can you grow mangoes at home?

A tropical plant like mango has very tasty and juicy fruits, which contain a large amount of nutrients and vitamins. But is mango suitable for indoor cultivation, and how to properly care for it?

This evergreen tree is recommended to be grown from sprouts, which are quite possible to buy in a special nursery. The planted sprout takes root relatively well and does not require close attention during growth. And also a wild plant will definitely not grow out of it. But you can also grow a mango from an ordinary seed, which should be taken from a ripe fruit. It is quite possible to germinate it, you just need to adhere to certain rules.

Growing mangoes indoors

The seed should be planted almost immediately after it is removed from the fruit. At the same time, you must definitely choose ripe mango. It is very easy to check whether the fruit is suitable for the degree of maturity. So, in a suitable mango, the bone can be separated from the pulp very easily. First, wash it thoroughly and then remove the remaining pulp using a sharp knife. After that, the prepared bone is carefully split, thereby accelerating the germination process:

In the event that the bone cracks without problems, the shell should be removed from it, while taking out the inside neatly, very similar to the beans. After that, it should be treated with fungicides - agents that can resist the development of fungus and harmful spores. In the event that there is not one, but several embryos inside, then it is necessary to choose from them only one of the greenest and smoothest, since its chances of germination are greater than those of the others.
In the event that it is very difficult to crack the shell, then no effort is needed, otherwise the inner part can be damaged. The mango seed should be placed in a container, which must be transparent and pour water at room temperature into it. For the bone, you should choose the most illuminated place on the windowsill. So, she should lie for several weeks. But at the same time, you must not forget to change the water every couple of days, otherwise it will turn sour.

Then you need to choose a suitable pot. Due to the fact that a mango tree in nature can reach a height of 10–45 meters, the container for planting should immediately be taken quite large. In this case, replanting the plant, and therefore injuring the root system, you will be less. Be sure to make good drainage at the bottom of the container; for this, use special granules or small rubble. The drainage layer is able to prevent stagnation of liquid in the soil, and hence the appearance of rot on the roots. For planting, you can use purchased universal soil, but it should be borne in mind that it must be neutral in acidity.

In order to measure the acidity of the soil, you can use a device specially designed for this, which is called a soil pH meter or a pH meter. It can also be replaced with disposable indicators made of paper. They change their color shade after contact with acidic soil (this happens within 1-15 minutes, and the time depends entirely on the indicator manufacturer).

You can plant in two ways:

placing it sideways - in the event that you do not know exactly where the lower part is, and where the upper part is;
placing horizontally - if there is already a small sprout.

You should not completely sprinkle the bone with soil, its fourth part should rise above the surface. After planting, spill the soil well, and if it settles hard enough, you will need to fill it up a little to the required level.

To create the most suitable conditions for germination, it is necessary to close the container on top with glass, transparent film or ½ part of a plastic bottle. Do not forget to air the mango, for this, once every 2 or 3 days, slightly raise the edges of the shelter. This will help you avoid bone decay.

A sill of a south-facing window is perfect for placing a pot, since the plant requires the greatest amount of light. After 2-3 weeks, a sprout usually appears and the mango begins to grow. After that, you need to remove the shelter from the container.

Care features

In the event that you planted the mango in a not very large pot, then you should not rush to transplant it. This procedure is recommended only after the plant becomes strong and grows a little. Transplanting into a permanent pot should be done for a plant that has reached one year of age. It is not necessary to repot the plant very often, since the mango reacts extremely negatively to this procedure, and as a result, it can shed all the leaves or even die altogether.

In order for a plant to grow and develop normally, it needs conditions as close as possible to natural ones. It reacts negatively to dry soil, as well as to low air humidity. In this regard, he needs to ensure systematic watering, and he also needs to have a constantly high humidity in the room (about 70-80 percent). Too often it is not worth moistening foliage from a sprayer, as this can provoke the appearance of mold and mildew. And they, rapidly developing, can even destroy the mango.

Fertilizer for mango, which was grown from a seedling or from a seed in room conditions, can be vermicompost and mixtures containing nitrogen, which are used in the cultivation of citrus fruits, as well as persimmons. In the event that your mango grows in the open field, organic fertilizers should be applied to it in the trunk circle a couple of times a year as a top dressing. So, 4 or 5 liters of water can be insisted on rotten foliage or manure.

The plant needs good sunlight. In this regard, the lightest window sill is chosen for its placement. Supplementary lighting is recommended in winter, which can be done with fluorescent lamps.

This tree tolerates the pruning procedure quite well, so you can shape the crown the way you want. In the event that the mango grows constantly in the room, and you are not going to plant it in open ground, it will definitely need systematic pruning. When it grows to a meter in height, it is necessary to start pinching the upper pairs of leaves, and they should be removed along with the buds.

Obtaining fruits at room conditions

Even if you follow exactly the above instructions for growing mango from seed, this plant will only decorate the room with its spectacular foliage, outwardly somewhat resembling a palm tree. Flowering and fruiting is available only to grafted plants.It is quite possible to purchase already grafted mangoes in a nursery or a botanical garden, and you can also graft a plant by budding with your own hands, while you will need a bud from a fruiting specimen.

Grafting mango

You will need a sharp, sterile knife for this procedure. They need to carefully cut the bud with some wood and bark. On the tree to be grafted, it is necessary to make a not very large cut, reminiscent of the letter T. Then carefully peel back the edges of the bark and insert the cut out bud. The incision should be carefully wrapped with soft tape, and it can be removed after the bud has grown.

The first flowering after grafting, as a rule, occurs after a couple of years. After 100 days (3 months) after the flowers appear, you can enjoy the juicy fragrant fruits. A tree that has been grafted needs systematic feeding (watering should be carried out only with fertilizing and mixtures containing nitrogen). Especially mango needs fertilization during flowering and during the ripening period.

Such a beautiful tree can become a real decoration of any room, but only if it is properly looked after and provided with the necessary conditions of detention. And to get sweet fruits, you will need to graft the plant and systematically fertilize it after that.

Mango is a wonderful exotic plant with aromatic and tasty fruits. It is grown in India, Thailand, Pakistan, Mexico, USA, Spain and Australia. You can meet it not only on plantations and in gardens, the plant is also grown in containers by amateur flower growers. It is quite possible to get a mango tree at home by planting a seed of a ripe fruit. At the same time, the process is simple, even a novice florist can handle planting. That's just to achieve fruiting mango in the room is unrealistic, he needs special conditions and pollinators.

Preparing mango seeds for planting

To prepare a mango seed for planting, you will need the following:

ripe fruit;
dull knife;
paper towel;
a plastic bag with a zip fastener;
plastic container with a lid.

Step-by-step master class on preparing mango seeds for planting

Pick up the fruit, it should be ripe, regular in shape, without wormholes and damage. Then cut off the pulp, scrape off its remnants from the shells and rinse the pit with water.
The mango seed is taken from a ripe fruit
Place the seed in a sunny place where it should dry out within 1–2 days. Flip it over when one side is dry.
The seed must dry in the sun before extracting the seed.
Use a blunt knife to carefully cut open the bone from the round tip, taking care not to damage the seed. Break the shell with your hands.
Open the bone with a blunt knife, being careful not to damage the seed
Detach the bean-like or large bean-like seed from the shell. You do not need to remove the skin from it.
Inside the shell is a seed that looks like a bean
Wrap the mango seed in a piece of paper towel and dampen it slightly. The material should not be too wet. Otherwise, the seed will simply rot.
Mango seed is germinated in a humid environment by wrapping it in a wet paper towel
Place the wrapped seed in a zip-fastened plastic bag and close it tightly, then place it inside the plastic food container. It will become your portable mini greenhouse.
To germinate, wrap the seed in a damp paper towel, place in a bag and place in a plastic container
Move the seed container to any dark place.
Check the seed daily to keep it moist, but not wet.

Planting a sprouted mango seed

Mango seedlings are very vulnerable in the early stages, so it is best to plant the seeds right away in a permanent place in the pot.

For the procedure, you will need:

light and loose soil;
drainage;
flower pot;
scoop;
water.

Planting mangoes requires gardening tools, drainage and light, loose soil.

Soil for mango

The substrate for planting the king of fruits (as the mango is popularly called) should be light. You can use a mixture for succulents with the addition of small pebbles or expanded clay or universal soil mixed with sand 2: 1.

Planting stages of sprouted mango seed

Fill the bottom of the pot with an approximately 5 cm layer of fine gravel or expanded clay drainage.
Mango does not tolerate stagnant water, therefore, to drain excess moisture, it is necessary to arrange drainage at the bottom of the pot.
Fill the pot 2/3 full with soil, moisten it and let the water drain.
The soil is poured onto 2/3 of the pot
Place the mango seed flat side down and cover gently with soil. Lightly press down on the soil, being careful not to damage the sprouted seed.
The seed is placed flat on a damp soil surface.
Cover the planting with a plastic cup and place the pot in a sunny spot.
Ventilate the makeshift greenhouse periodically and moisten the ground.
Mango leaves will begin to appear in 2-4 weeks. Some of them will be colored bright green and others purple. Don't be scared, this is just a cultural feature.
Mango leaves are colored green and purple
After two months, start gradually accustoming the seedling to the environment by opening the greenhouse. Three months after planting, you can remove the cup and transfer the small plant to an area with direct sunlight.

Mango tree care at home

Germinating a mango seed and producing a seedling is only half the battle. In order for a plant to grow and develop well, it needs to create certain conditions. Mango should be placed on the sunniest windowsill, and in summer, taken out to the balcony. The plant loves direct sunlight and warmth.

Watering and feeding

Indoor mango loves moisture. The plant needs regular watering, which should be carried out as soon as the top layer of soil in the pot dries up. To prevent moisture from evaporating longer, the soil can be mulched with humus or rotted sawdust.

Please note that although mango is moisture-loving, the plant does not tolerate stagnant water.

Three months after planting the seed in the pot, you can get real small trees.

Mangoes need organic feeding. It will be enough to make humus twice a year. To do this, make a small groove along the edge of the pot, pour humus into it and pour ordinary soil on top. This will provide the plant with everything it needs for excellent growth.

Mango crown formation

Mango responds very well to pruning and quickly regenerates its crown. The procedure is carried out when the mango tree grown in the room reaches 1.5 m in height. Pruning is done 1–2 times a year to maintain a beautiful shape and regulate the size of the plant.

Mango at home has an attractive appearance.

There are no special rules for the procedure. All branches thickening the crown are cut out and the central one is shortened to the desired size. You can also give the mango crown the desired look, forming it in the form of a ball, pyramid or a picturesque spreading bush.

When growing a mango at home, do not expect flowering and fruiting from it. Even if it is possible to provide all the necessary conditions for a tropical plant, to provide it with a warm, humid and sunny place, the mango will not be able to develop the powerful root system characteristic of the culture. But even if you cannot get tasty fruits, mango will become a wonderful decoration at home, the plant, exotic for our latitudes, has a very attractive look.

I am fond of many things. Handicraft, gardening, floriculture and cooking are just a few of my hobbies.I am constantly discovering something new and learning something interesting. I am ready to share all my knowledge with my readers.

Mango is a common exotic fruit. It grows mainly in India, as well as in a number of other tropical countries. Its main value is soft, juicy pulp and pleasant sweet taste with a slight sourness. Special substances contained in its peel can cause allergic reactions in a number of people.

But, despite this, almost every one of us has tried it at least once and therefore knows that there is a large oblong bone inside the fruit. It can be easily germinated. So how does a mango grow?

What does a mango tree look like?

Many of us are familiar with the perennial tropical culture of the cashew family - mango. This tree in its homeland is also known as the mangifera. Its shoots are long and very strong, with a huge number of ripe fruits growing on them. The weight of one ripe fruit can reach 2 kg. A tree that grows in the tropics never sheds its leaves. It remains evergreen.

How does it grow in nature?

You can admire how mango grows in nature in a number of tropical countries. There, this culture, together with other trees, forms dense forests. When a mango grows naturally, the tree looks like this:

height 25-30 meters or more;
crown diameter 7–8 meters;
lanceolate leaf plates, up to 40 cm long;
young leaves grow at first burgundy, and then acquire their characteristic green color.

When mangoes grow in nature, their flowering period is February or March. Its small yellow flowers are collected in rather large pyramidal inflorescences. Their length can be 40 or more centimeters. The scent of the flowers of this tree is similar to the scent of lilies. A large number of insects and bats flock to it. After setting, the fruit grows within 3 months.

Mango is a long-liver. It can grow over several centuries. There are known trees, 300 years old, which are still actively growing and bearing fruit.

The mango root is pivotal; it goes to a depth of over 6 meters. But even with such an impressive size, he is not able to hold a tree. Therefore, mango additionally develops a wide and highly branched root system. The tree grows unevenly throughout the year. He has several periods of intensive development. But, despite this, mango bears fruit only once. Under the conditions of cultural cultivation, agronomists manage to get two waves of fruiting.

Can I grow at home?

How does mango grow at home? - you ask. Indeed, in nature this is a huge tree with a wide spreading crown. So, for growing in the house, dwarf varieties and grafted plants are mainly used. They grow in the form of small compact trees with a height of 70 cm to 1.5 meters. When growing grafted plants, seedlings grown from seed play the role of a rootstock.

If you vaccinate or purchase a special dwarf variety, there is no possibility, they are limited to constant formative pruning. For this, 4–5 main branches are left on the tree, and the rest are cut out. The mango grows quite intensively, so its crown is trimmed several times a year.

How to grow from a seed in a pot?

Many gardeners are very interested in the question of how to grow a mango from a stone? So, it's not difficult to do this. The main thing is to stock up on seed from a well-ripened fruit. You can define it by the following criteria:

The skin is reddish or yellowish.
Soft pulp.
Easily detachable bone.

Advice! If you are interested in how a mango seed grows, then when choosing a fruit, give preference to strongly overripe. The bones in them very often begin to grow on their own.

How to germinate?

Growing mangoes at home should start with germination.For this, the seed is first thoroughly cleaned. If this step is neglected, mold will appear in the process, which will destroy it.

Attention! Germination is started immediately. Dried seeds will not grow.

The bone, peeled from the pulp, is placed in a container with warm boiled water. The water should be changed once a day. After it starts to grow, you can plant it.

And how to germinate a mango seed in another way? There is another option for germination. The seed is simply wrapped in a damp towel and placed in a warm place. In this case, you need to ensure that the towel is constantly wet. As soon as the seed begins to grow, it can be planted. So how to plant a mango seed?

How to plant?

After germination, another question arises in front of the florist: how to plant a mango seed at home? So, for this you need:

a pot with a diameter of 10–12 cm;
universal soil;
a small amount of expanded clay.

The planting process itself is very simple, first a drainage hole is made in the bottom of the pot. Then the universal soil is mixed with expanded clay. The resulting potting soil mixture is poured into a pot.

Attention! The main requirement for a potting mix is a neutral acidity level. The seedling will not grow in soil with a different acidity. He will gradually begin to wither and eventually die.

Also, be sure to pay attention to how the mango seed should be planted. If it is already growing, it should be planted horizontally. In other cases, landing is carried out sideways. Whichever method of planting is chosen, it cannot be completely covered with earth. Above the surface of the soil should be at least a quarter of it.

After the end of planting work, the care of the planted seed is as follows:

The pot is watered abundantly with warm water.
An impromptu greenhouse is being built over the landing site from the cut off top of a plastic bottle. For the purpose of airing, the plug on it sometimes needs to be unscrewed.
Before the seed begins to grow, it is kept in a warm, bright place.
You also need to constantly monitor the level of soil moisture and, if necessary, water it.

On average, germination takes from one to two months. If there have been no sprouts for a long time, you can try using growth stimulants. For example, Epin stimulates growth processes well. The planting site is watered with its solution.

From one seed, several sprouts usually appear at once. One of them is always growing more actively. It should be left, and the rest should be carefully removed. At first, the sprout grows very, very slowly, but gradually its development is significantly accelerated.

Care of a young immature plant should be very careful:

At first, it should be watered regularly and abundantly. At the same time, the main thing is to prevent the gulf. Drainage holes must be punched in the bottom of the pot so that excess moisture can drain freely.
Also, from the first month of life, the sprout can be fed. For this, mineral complexes are used for decorative deciduous plants. They should be bred in strict accordance with the attached annotation.

Attention! After watering, the soil surface in the pot must be loosened. Oxygen starvation will cause the seedling to grow very slowly.

After we learned how to plant a mango and how a seedling grows, it would not hurt to get acquainted with the rules of care.

This is what a mango sprout looks like

Care

Caring for a mango at home is not difficult at all. The main thing is to create the following growing conditions:

Lighting. The mango plant grows best in strong light. Therefore, the pot with it is best placed on a south-facing window. In order for the mango to grow successfully in winter, they organize additional illumination from fluorescent lamps. This will prevent unwanted pulling out of the shoots.
Air humidity.Pitted mango adapts very well. The tree grows without problems in normal indoor conditions with dry air. But, despite this, he needs regular spraying with soft water with a temperature slightly above room temperature. In winter, the tree grows well even without daily spraying.
Watering the mango. The plant at home should be watered after the top soil layer dries. It cannot be allowed to dry completely. For irrigation, use only settled water. Mango grows well in a constant, moderate humidity.

In addition to observing the above conditions for growing a mango, a tree at home requires certain care measures:

Pruning. Mango from a stone at home grows very intensively, therefore, to maintain high decorative qualities, it must be cut off. Usually they start shaping after the mango grows to a height of 1 meter. First, pinch only the growth point of the main shoot. After that, lateral branches begin to grow, which are subsequently also cut off.
Transfer. Growing a mango from a seed also implies a transplant. For the first 5 years, the tree grows intensively, so the transplant should be annual. After that, it will be enough once every 2-3 years. Transplant is carried out in the spring. During this period, the tree begins to grow intensively and therefore easily tolerates damage to the root system. In this case, the new pot should be slightly larger than the previous one. Transplanting the plant immediately into a large one is not recommended.
Top dressing. You can grow a mango from a seed at home without using fertilizers. But then the tree grows weak and frail. In order to prevent this during the period of intensive growth, it is fed with a solution of universal fertilizer.

So we learned how to grow a mango with our own hands from an unnecessary seed, but what about its flowering in indoor conditions?

How does this plant bloom?

It has already been said about what a mango tree looks like, but how does this culture bloom at home? Mango trees bloom no earlier than 5–6 years after planting. Up to this point, they just grow.

But in indoor conditions, it is almost impossible to see their flowering. Even if the trees grow in a greenhouse or conservatory, it is not always possible to admire the flowers. You can see live how a mango blooms only if the culture grows in natural conditions.

Will there be fruit?

When growing a mango at home from a stone, it is very unlikely to see the fruit itself. The trees that grow in the house can only bear fruit if vaccinated. They are purchased from the appropriate nursery. You can also try to vaccinate yourself. To do this, you need the following:

Rootstock. It uses a mango flower grown from a seed.
Graft. As it is used the kidney from the specimen that yielded fruit.
Sharp knife.
Insulating tape.

The very technique of grafting a mango from a seed growing in a pot is very simple. A T-shaped incision is made on the stock. It should be located 1–2 cm from the root collar. Its edges are folded neatly. After that, a previously cut kidney is placed at the incision site. All this is securely fixed with electrical tape.

The best time for vaccinations is spring. At this time, the mango begins to actively grow, which contributes to the accelerated growth of the graft. In a month it will be clear how successful it was. If the planted kidney grows, then the vaccination is almost 100% successful.

Further care for the vaccine is as follows:

After 1–1.5 months, the crown of the rootstock will need to be removed. To do this, just above the grafting site, the entire main shoot is cut off with a sharp knife or pruner.
The resulting cut is necessarily covered with a small amount of garden varnish.

After grafting until flowering, the tree will grow for about 3 more years. During this period, the mango will grow its crown. After the formation of the ovary, the fruits will grow for another 3-4 months. Mango is very badly pollinated, so there will be very few fruits.

Conclusion

Anyone can grow such a culture as mango from a seed at home.
The main thing is to choose a ripe fruit and strictly adhere to the necessary recommendations.
At first, the mango sprout grows very slowly and does not represent any decorative value, but over the years, with appropriate care, the seedling turns into a gorgeous tropical tree that delights the eye.

Growing mango from seed at home

The sprouts of this evergreen tree can be purchased from a special nursery and planted at home. This method is preferable, since the survival rate of the seedling is much higher, it is easier to care for it and there is no likelihood of getting a wild plant. However, if you have a seed left from a ripe fruit, then it is absolutely realistic to germinate it and save money on the purchase, following some simple rules.

How to grow mango at home Ripe mango fruits from the store

Only a fresh bone extracted from a ripe fruit is suitable for planting. Determining the degree of ripeness of a mango is very simple - if the core is easily separated from the pulp, then it is suitable for germination. Rinse it well, then gently scrape off the remaining fruit with a sharp knife. Next, the bone must be split in order to enable the sprouts to break through faster:

if it gives in easily, then remove the outer dense layer, carefully pull out the contents that look like large beans, and treat it with a fungicide (a special agent that fights against fungi and harmful spores). If there are several embryos, choose the most green and even, it is he who has the most chances of germination.
if the shell is very hard, then it is better not to try to make a puncture, so as not to injure the seed. In this case, place the bone in a transparent container of room temperature water for several weeks and leave it on a well-lit windowsill. Remember to change the water every two days so that it doesn't stagnate or bloom.

How to grow a mango at home: getting a bone

Then prepare the pot for planting. Since under natural conditions the mango tree grows from 10 to 45 m in height, it is better to initially take a large pot for the plant in order to transplant it as little as possible and injure the roots. Drainage must be laid at the bottom of the pot: fine gravel or special granules - they will not allow water to stagnate and spoil the root system. The soil is suitable for a universal type, the main thing is to maintain a neutral acidity level.

Germinating mango seeds at home

It is most convenient to check the acidity level with a special device, which can be called a soil Ph meter or a PH meter. There are also disposable paper indicators that change color upon contact with acidic soil after a while (from 1 to 15 minutes, depending on the manufacturer).

Planting can be done in several ways:

sideways, if you are not sure exactly where is the bottom and where is the top;
horizontally, if a small sprout has already hatched.

In any case, it cannot be completely sprinkled with earth, it is optimal to leave 1/4 of the bone above the surface and pour abundantly with settled water at room temperature. If the soil settles heavily after watering, just add another small layer.

Ready-to-plant mango seed grain with germ

To create an ideal germination microclimate for mangoes at home, after planting, the pot with a bone should be covered with a thin glass sheet, cellophane, or a plastic bottle cut in half.Once every 2-3 days, slightly raise the edges of the shelter to ventilate and prevent the bone from rotting.

It is best to place the pot on a southern windowsill, where there is the most sunshine. After two to three weeks, the first sprouts will appear and it will be possible to observe how the mango grows at home, then the shelter can be removed from the pot.

If from the very beginning you took a small container for the mango, then you should postpone the further transplant. It is optimal to do this after the tree grows up a little and gets stronger. It will be possible to finally transplant the mango tree into a permanent container no earlier than in a year. Try to avoid frequent transplants, because each manipulation of this kind is stress for the plant, to which it can react by discarding leaves or even death.

Given the climate in which mangoes grow in their natural environment, it will be necessary to recreate these conditions as much as possible at home. The tree does not tolerate the dryness of the soil and air, therefore, do not forget to water it regularly, as well as maintain a sufficient level of humidity in the room (70-80%). At the same time, do not get carried away by over-spraying the leaves - they are very susceptible to fungi and mold, which can quickly develop and destroy the plant.

As a fertilizer for a mango grown from a seed or seedling at home, biohumus is suitable, as well as nitrogen-containing mixtures used for growing persimmons or citrus fruits. If you planted it in open ground, then 2 times a year do not forget to add organic substances (4-5 liters of water infused with manure or rotten leaves) to the trunk circle for feeding.

The plant desperately needs bright daylight, because the pot with it should be placed on the lightest window sill of the apartment, and in winter an additional light source will not interfere, you can use a fluorescent lamp.

Mango tolerates pruning well - you can shape its crown at your own discretion. If you plan to leave the tree in the room, then after it reaches a meter, start pinching the top pairs of leaves together with the buds. The pruning sites must be treated with garden varnish.

Unfortunately, even if you follow all the instructions exactly, growing a mango from a seed at home will bring you an ornamental tropical plant with graceful leaves, reminiscent of a palm tree. Only grafted specimens can bloom and bear fruit. You can buy them in a botanical garden or nursery, or graft a plant by budding on your own, taking a bud from a fruiting one.

To plant a seed-grown mango tree:

Take a sterile sharp knife, cut off the bud with a piece of bark and wood. In your tree near the ground, make a small T-shaped incision with a sterile tool, gently peel back the edges of the bark and plant the cut kidney there. Wrap the graft with soft tape and wait for it to grow.

Mango can bloom 2 years after vaccination, and if this happens, then after 3 months (100 days) expect the first harvest of sweet, fragrant fruits. The grafted tree needs regular fertilization (it is necessary to water only with nitrogen-containing dressings and mixtures), especially during the period of flowering and ripening of fruits.
