Growing
45 days after planting, the plant will begin to bear fruit.
Planting is carried out mainly with the help of seedlings. The thing is that seeds will not be able to give as much yield as seedlings. For growing cucumbers, seedlings do not need to be treated with growth stimulants. This species already has excellent growth characteristics. Growing in a greenhouse is carried out in special containers, which should be at a distance of 40 cm from each other, because this allows the root system to remain safe and not damaged when transplanted into open ground.
The soil for cultivation is chosen that has a low acid-base balance. If it begins to exceed the 6-6.5 mark, then the soil should be treated with special preparations with a high lime content. The soil for planting should contain a small amount of peat, which will allow the crop to ripen even faster. It should also contain drugs such as Perlite or Vermiculite.
Until leaves appear on the seedlings, the humidity in the greenhouse should be more than 90%. As soon as the formation of the first sheets has begun, the humidity can be lowered to 80%. Watering of planting material should be carried out with water of a certain temperature. It should not be less than 20 ° C. Otherwise, the root system may freeze and not yield a crop.
As soon as you decide to plant cucumbers in the open field, you should wait until the soil warms up to 20 ° C. You should also loosen the soil a little so that a sufficient amount of air enters the root system. This will prevent rotting. No more than 2 plants should be planted on 1m2. Count down 45 days after planting. It is after this period of time that you can start harvesting.
Care
If you properly care for the Kibriya cucumber, then he will reciprocate. That is, only after high-quality and timely care, you can get high yield rates. The description of caring for this type of plant consists in correct and timely watering, feeding, loosening the soil and processing with disinfectants. Do not forget that it is important to form a bush.
Watering is carried out exclusively with water at room temperature. It should be installed only after draining of the soil has been noticed. This is best done with drip irrigation and in the evening. In this way, it is more likely that moisture will remain in the ground and not evaporate.
