Growing tips

Germination ach 1-2 weeks from a minimum soil temperature of 16°C, optimal is 24°C. 'Warm feet' by compost or horse manure recommended. Harvest from about 80 days after sowing. Harvest first fruits early, so that the plant does not put all its energy into the first fruits and forms enough more. Do not water cucumbers with too cold water. Do not grow parthenocarpic varieties, i.e. purely female flowering varieties near mixed flowering varieties. More growing tips at the species cucumber.
