Sow seeds for seedlings in March (in temperate regions). Transplant seedlings into open ground in late May – early June, when soil warms to 15-16°C and frost risk passes. Direct seed sowing in soil is possible in late May.
Space plants 30-40 cm apart in rows. Space rows 50-60 cm apart. This ensures good ventilation and prevents fungal diseases.
Cucumbers need moist but not waterlogged soil. Water 2-3 times per week at 30-40 l/m². In hot weather, water daily, preferably in evening, at the roots with warm water (20-25°C).
Seedling method is more reliable: gives earlier harvest (10-14 days earlier) and plants establish better. Direct seeding is simpler and more economical but requires warm, moist soil.
Use phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (potassium monophosphate 15 g per 10 L water) or potassium humate. Feed every 7-10 days. Alternate with organic feeds (manure 1:10, grass infusion).
