Grow Japanese cucumbers in pots.

💋 how to plant

1. Equipment preparation (for limited space)

Pots: Use pots of 10-12 inches or more (1 pots per plant) with good drainage holes.

Soil: loam mixed with manure, coconut flax and black husk (cucumbers prefer sheer soil, well drained, untrapped)

Seeds: Japanese cucumber seeds (easily available by agricultural store or online)

2. Seeding and moving dare

Take the seeds, soak in warm water, leave for 4-6 hours.

Put it in a dampened tissue paper and leave it in a sealed box for 1-2 days until the white roots begin to grow.

Move down the seeding in a pit tray or paper glass, about 1 cm deep, moistening the water.

When the seedlings have 3-4 true leaves (about 10-14 days), move down the prepared large pots.

3. Stale (The heart of little space)

Since cucumbers are ivy, making vertical freezes will save a lot of space.

How to make it: Use 3-4 small sticks of bamboo or PVC pipes, embroidered around the edges of the pots and put the ends together into a yurt shape (triangle shape), or use a finished mesh to lean against a wall.

When the beginning slides, hold the cucumber's hand and wrap it in a stick.

4. Maintenance

Sunlight: Place the pots in sunny spots for at least 6 hours a day (cucumbers like the sun).

Watering: Watering twice a day, morning-evening, keep the soil hydrated but not drained well.

Fertilizer: After moving dare for 2 weeks, always add corral fertilizer or formula fertilizer (16-16-16) once a week. When starting to flower, focus on fertilizers high in potassium (such as 13-13-21) to nourish the effect.

Trimming: Remove the branches around the early cones (the first 5 clauses from the soil) so that nutrients are delivered to feed the main peaks and the effect is fully achieved.

5. Harvest

After blooming about 10-14 days (or about 45-50 days after planting), it begins to harvest.

It is recommended to use polar cutting scissors. Good Japanese cucumber fruit should be dark green, taut skin, and about 15-20 cm long (do not leave it to the tree, because the meat will flutter and the seeds will be hard).
