Early fruiting is a guideline of 40–45 days from mass germination. Zelentsy are cylindrical, green, smooth or slightly lumpy according to descriptions, without bitterness; weight is often given as 110–130 g in reviews; the manufacturer has a range of up to approximately 80–150 g.

    How to care

    Watering

    Keep the soil moist until germination; do not overcool the seeds

    💡Tips
    • It is better to use separate glasses - cucumbers are painful to bear the root pass.
    • For seedlings, 25°–28 °C are considered comfortable.

    Growing conditions

    Frost resistance zone
    Annual heat-loving plant; return frosts are destructive
    Temperature range
    Optimal for growth is 22°–26° air and 23°–26° soil during the day; below ~15° and above ~32° slow down development
    Lighting
    Full sun 6–8 hours (vertical cultivation recommended according to variety descriptions)
    Also suitable: Experiences partial shade; excess foliage can darken the ovary nodes in the north - pinching the lower leaves is important.

    💡Preparation Tips

    • Dig the bed to a depth of 25-30 cm
    • Add compost or humus (5-10 kg per m²)
    • If necessary, adjust pH with lime or peat

    Frequently asked questions(5)

    No, the hybrid is parthenocarpic: the fruits set without pollinating insects, which is especially convenient in a closed greenhouse.

    Often the reasons are lack of light or overload of the bush with old fruits, dry soil, low night temperatures below what is acceptable for a cucumber. Ventilation after watering helps.

    At the amateur level, reviews include figures from several kg per bush to 16–18 kg per m² with intensive technology; in practice depends on greenhouse climate control and disease prevention.

    Trade reviews note resistance to a number of diseases (including powdery mildew and some rots) and high adaptability; Nevertheless, basic prevention of cucumber is required.

    Yes - the hybrid is allowed for greenhouse and temporary cover in all regions of the Russian Federation, subject to the terms of heat-resistant planting; in colder climates, a film / agro-strip over the ridge at an early stage is important.
