How to plant cucumber seeds

Cucumber seed planting time

Cucumber sowing is generally carried out in spring or summer and autumn, specifically between January-March or June-August. Cucumber seeds are not very cold-resistant, so planting them in these two stages can allow them to grow well in the later stages. If they are planted in a greenhouse, they can be planted at any time as long as the temperature is right.

Cucumber seed planting method

1. Process the seeds: When sowing cucumbers, you need to use high-quality varieties that are disease-resistant and cold-resistant. They need to be germinated before sowing. You can soak the seeds in 50-60 degree hot water. After the water temperature drops to about 30 degrees, soak them for 6 hours and then take them out.

2. Treat the soil: When sowing cucumbers, you need to use loose, breathable and fertile soil. You can add some organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer appropriately, so that there will be sufficient nutrients in the later stage.

3. Sowing in the soil: After the cucumber seeds are processed, they can be sown. The sowing method is relatively simple. You can directly sow the seeds evenly on the surface of the soil, then cover them with a layer of soil, and water them appropriately to promote germination.

Cucumber daily management precautions

It takes about 90-120 days for cucumbers to be harvested after sowing, so maintenance and management are needed during this period. Regular watering and fertilization are required, and there must be sufficient sunlight, so that they can grow well and be harvested early.
