Regular watering, sufficient nutrition, and protection against cold are essential for proper development. The warm location and healthy soil structure allow the plant to develop optimally.
Although this variety is resistant to powdery mildew, other pests such as slugs, birds, mice, and aphids can occur. Viruses can also play a role.
