- Sowing method: Seeds are sown directly in raised beds or containers during Monsoon & Summer which are active sowing windows for Cucumber.
- Growing techniques in container: Use big circular pots or grow bag with 16” diameter and minimum depth of 8-10 inches, take a container of your choice with drainage holes at the bottom, fill the container with proper potting layers & selected growing medium that is 1 part Garden Soil + 1 part Coco Peat + 1 part Vermicompost or 2 part Garden Soil + 1 part Organic Manure.
- Sow 2 seeds at the centre of a pot or on raised beds sow two seeds per spot in a spacing of 3 x 3 ft in the backyard. Push the seeds a little in soil medium with your fingers & completely cover them with surrounding soil. Water the sown seed bed immediately by a light shower with a watering can.
- Seeds will germinate within first 6-8 days or so & tiny sprouts will be visible and the first two leaves will emerge in the second week of germination called as cotyledons, first two leaves will emerge above cotyledons at the end of the second week & seedlings will start growing into a small plant after second week onwards.
- After the second week, keep only single seedlings at one spot, cut off the weak, small & lagging seedlings with a pair of scissors.
