Since most varieties are indeterminate, they require sturdy support in the form of trellises, reinforced cages, or robust stakes. Space the plants 50 to 70 cm apart to ensure good air circulation. Water at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage, and apply mulch to reduce evaporation and limit disease.
