Description of variety and main characteristics

The variety is dwarf, so you should not expect strong growth. The maximum height of the bush is 40 cm. In terms of ripening, the Minibel variety is early. The fruits begin to sing after 3 months (90 days). The bushes are compact, very decorative, especially during mass fruiting. It is not necessary to pinch the tops and remove stepchildren.With a large number of tomatoes, you can put a small decorative support and tie a bush to it.

Fruits are small from 10 to 15 g, collected in a brush. The percentage of fruit set is high, but shaking the bushes during flowering does not hurt. The fruits belong to the universal purpose tomatoes. Despite their small size, they have a typical tomato flavor, firm red flesh when ripe. The fruits are good in salads, if desired, they can be preserved.

Planting and caring for indoor tomatoes

Tomatoes are propagated by sowing seeds. Sowing dates can be different. If the goal is fresh tomatoes for the new year, then sow the seeds towards the end of summer. Tomatoes planted in January will begin to bear fruit in March. For summer consumption, seeds are sown for seedlings in February-March.

Not any soil is suitable for indoor tomatoes. Here is a sample composition perfect for dwarf tomatoes:

• 5 parts of humus;
• 4 pieces of black soil;
• 1 piece of sand.

The rate of fertilizer is given per bucket of soil mixture:

• 1 glass of ash;
• 40 grams of potash fertilizer;
• 40 grams of superphosphate;
• 10 grams of urea.

Sowing seedlings

Seeds before planting soak for 15 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate. If you want to speed up germination, you can put the seeds in damp toilet paper. Pack a saucer with seeds in a transparent food bag and put in a warm place.

When the air temperature is above 25 °C, they will quickly hatch, they can be transplanted into plastic boxes filled with fertile soil. Dive into separate glasses when 2 leaves appear. At the age of 40-50 days, transplant into a large pot and grow like an adult tomato.

Care

Basic care comes down to watering and fertilizing. Watering is not necessary often, but plentifully. Top dressing combined with watering. You can burn the roots if you pour a solution of fertilizer on dry ground. You can use mineral fertilizers or complex fertilizers for tomatoes.

Reviews from amateur growers

Vladimir.

Practicing growing dwarf tomatoes.He grew tomatoes Minibel and Balcony miracle on the window. The description gives a recommendation for the size of the pot - 2 liters, tried to follow the instructions, did not like it. The earth in pots quickly dried up, it became a pity for the plants, they were transferred to larger pots (5 l). They bore well. The declared kilogram of the crop was given away. I planted a variety in the country, the bushes quite successfully bore fruit in the open field.

There is no dacha, but I like to tinker with plants. I bought Minibel tomato seeds from Prestige-Seeds, in March I sowed them for seedlings. Dive like all other varieties of tomatoes in the phase of 2 leaves. The first pot was small, no more than 300 ml. When the bush grew up, I transplanted it into a beautiful pot. The volume of the cache-pot is 5 liters. Tomato bushes at the time of flowering and fruiting are a living decoration of the apartment. Small tomatoes stick around the entire bush. They taste just as good as outdoor tomatoes.
