  • Cucumber
  • Cucumber is an annual vine with trailing or climbing habits. It is a warm season crop. Low temperature affects its germination as well as growth.
  • It can be grown on light as well as heavy soil. Well drained soil is necessary. The seedlings can be grown directly. No need for transplanting. The spacing should be 90cms between rows and 40-50cms between plants.
  • It being a creeper can be grown along the ground or vines can be trained on artificially erected pandals. During the dry season it is O.K. for vines to be trailing on the ground but during monsoons it is advisable to grow them on pandals. If the drainage is poor and the plant is in contact with water for long.the growth is retarded. 
  • It can be grown in pots too. In a 12" pot you can make a half round erect structure along the boundary of the pot with wooden sticks on which the vines can grow. Sow the seeds directly (approx 3 seeds) into the pot and keep in shade still germination. Gradually expose to the sun over a period of one week and then always keep in sunlight.
  • The fruits are harvested after 45 days of sowing. Fruits should be harvested from the vine by turning them parallel to the runner and then giving it a quick snap to prevent vine damage. The fruits are harvested every 3-4 days upto almost 2 months.

Step by Step Growth Guide

1. Sowing

Cucumbers can be grown by direct method.

You can take a container / pot with minimum diameter of 12". Fill it with POT-O-MIX.

If on seed / raised beds then prepare the seedbed (Refer to growing through seeds guidelines)

In the pot sow 2 - 3 seeds at the centre at a depth of 0.6 cms. Cover lightly.

On raised / seed beds sow the seeds at a distance of 60 cms between plants and 90 cms between rows.

Water lightly and provide shade.

2. Nurturing

The seeds will germinate in about 6 - 8 days. Gradually expose at sunlight,

As the vine grows, you can allow it to grow along the soil floor or place poles 1.5 meters tall and 2 meters apart. Train the vines to grow on them. Give wire or twine supports in rows across the poles and you can also make a roof like pattern with twine on top to allow the vines to spread and fruits to hang.

If in pots then once the seedlings are big enough then provide support. Insert 3 to 4 wooden sticks to make a square or conical shape trellis in the pot and train the vine to grow on it.

Water everyday and reduce once flowering begins.

Fertilisation should begin at the end of 30 days and continue at intervals of 15 days. Choose from ORGANIC or INORGANIC options.

The cucumber are ready for harvest in about 60 days of sowing and can continue for 3 - 4 months more.
