Growing Guide

1. Soil Preparation:
For optimal growth, plant in fertile, well-drained soil that has been enriched with plenty of compost or leaf mold. These cucumbers prefer a slightly acidic soil pH between 6.0 and 6.8.

2. Planting and Support:
Seeds can be sown directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed, or started indoors 2-3 weeks earlier for transplants. It is essential to provide a support system such as a trellis, bamboo poles, or a fence. This keeps the fruits clean, healthy, and saves space.

3. Care During Growth:
Maintain consistently moist soil with regular watering, preferably in the morning or evening. The compact growth habit with shorter internodes makes these varieties ideal for container gardening and small spaces.

4. Harvesting:
For the best flavor and texture, harvest the fruits when they are young and tender, reaching their ideal size of 4-5 cm in length. The skin should still be shiny and firm. Picking frequently encourages the plant to produce more fruit.
