Planting cucumbers
Seedlings are planted in warm soil
Cucumbers of this variety can be grown both by seedling and non-seedling methods. Often, the seeds are planted a month before the direct planting on the site.
Seeds must be soaked before planting: this speeds up the growth of shoots. Seedlings are planted in open ground when the ground has warmed up enough. This usually happens at the end of May.
When using the seedless method, sowing sprouted seedlings is carried out only in the ground heated to 15 ° C. The depth of this type of planting is 2 cm, the plant density is 7 bushes per 1 sq. m.
The soil
The soil for this type of cucumber must be loosened so that it can retain moisture. It is also constantly fertilized so that the bushes receive a sufficient amount of vitamins.
The root system of this type is small, in order to fertilize it, they dig a trench no more than 40 cm deep: this is the optimal size for organic fertilization and constant watering of plants.
The decaying organic matter creates a sufficiently large amount of heat, which allows faster plant growth and fruit development. The plant is fed throughout the season.
Place to grow
The landing site should be sufficiently sunny and protected from the winds from all sides. Corn is used as a human shield.
Temperature
The optimum temperature for plant growth is not lower than 15 ° C and not higher than 30 ° C. Too low temperature leads to the death of the plant or to a stop of its development. In extreme cases, the bushes are insulated with an organic additive or film.
