Periodically, it is necessary to pinch plantings, thin out the leaves so that the air inside the bush does not stagnate, and in this case the clusters will receive enough sunlight to ripen in a short vegetative period.
Since the flowers are bisexual, pollinating bushes are not required, and even insects fly to sweet pollen.
With regards to watering and fertilizing, they should be moderate. During rains, irrigation should be reduced so that the roots do not rot, and increased in drought. Top dressing is recommended to be combined with watering. To preserve moisture, the soil can be mulched with straw.
For the winter, it is not necessary to cover Einset Sidlis, but only if the frost is no more than -27 ° C and there is snow cover. In other conditions, it is desirable to take care of wintering.
