Almost all varieties of pink tomatoes differ from red varieties in their increased content of sugar and other useful substances, therefore, they need more watering and nutrients.
When growing pink tomatoes, it is important to maintain good, even soil moisture. An important condition is to avoid excessive dampness; it is especially harmful to water the tomato bushes abundantly after a long dry period. Such sudden watering will lead to cracking of the fruits and loss of their presentation.
During tomato flowering, it is good to provide a fine spray of water, as this will help the quality formation of pollen and ovary. Also at this time, plants need feeding with nutrients.
To do this, add 60 grams to a bucket of water complex fertilizer. This feeding will be a good stimulant for fruit growth.It would not be superfluous to use drugs that will help the fruits reach consumer maturity, one of them is the drug “Dozrevatel”.
Even a single spraying with “Dozrevatel” accelerates the onset of ripeness in brown and green fruits, allowing them to gain the weight characteristic of the variety. It is especially beneficial to use the drug when growing an early harvest of pink tomatoes intended for sale, since the use of "Ripener" significantly reduces the time it takes for them to acquire a pink color and stimulates a friendly yield of the crop.
Following simple agricultural practices makes it possible to get a good harvest of pink tomatoes in any area.

Comments

I used to dislike pink tomatoes because of their sweetness. But now we like it, so we plant a lot. But it’s very difficult with them; strange diseases attack them. Especially after rain, the tomato simply disappears. Because of this, we plant a lot so that at least something survives.

Natka, I’m also a fan of pink tomatoes. They are often meatier and the skin is not as rough. This year I planted new varieties Malinovka and Raspberry Wine (Chelyabinsk selection). I'm waiting to see how they show themselves. I had the same problem with diseases before, but Fitolavin has been saving me for three years now. I spray after planting, 2-3 days later, and then after 15 days.

For me, these are the best varieties in terms of taste - thin skin, dense, fleshy, few seeds, they are good for fresh salads and for pickling, but they have to be cut to put them in jars.
