Frequently asked questions(5)
Seeds are sown into open ground in late May - early June, when soil temperature reaches 15-16°C and frost danger has passed. For earlier harvest, grow through seedlings, sowing in April.
Cucumber seeds are planted at a depth of 2-3 cm. Deep sowing hinders germination, while shallow sowing risks rapid drying and seed death.
Cucumbers require regular watering - 2-3 times per week in normal weather and daily in hot weather. Water in evening hours with warm water at the root, avoiding foliage. Soil should be moist but not waterlogged.
At the vegetative stage, use nitrogen-containing fertilizers (compost, manure). During flowering and fruiting - complex fertilizers with elevated potassium and phosphorus content. Fertilize every 1-2 weeks, alternating between root and foliar feeding.
Temp variety is resistant to powdery mildew and bacterial spot. Watch for spider mites, aphids, and whitefly larvae. Conduct preventive treatments with soap solution or biological products at first signs of damage.
