Germination
After 1–2 weeks at 16 ° C, optimal is 24 ° C. ‘Warm feet’ through compost or horse manure are recommended.

Location
Cucumbers need warm, humus-rich, loose soil, a good supply of nutrients and a lot of water. Sunny to partially shaded and sheltered from the wind.

Tip Cut off the
main shoot when it reaches the roof of the house. Parthenocarp varieties, ie purely female-flowering varieties, do not grow in the vicinity of mixed-flowering varieties.
