Cucumber Styx F1 Organic Seed

WHERE TO SOW

Sow indoors edgewise 1cm deep in individual pots under glass at a constant day and night temperature of 25°C.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

As soon as seedlings have formed three true leaves, transplant into 15cm pots. When the plants are about 10cm tall, plant out in the growing site maintaining 21°C.  Male flowers can appear under stress conditions and should be removed immediately.  Cucumber prefer a moist atmosphere. Spray floor of glasshouse with water regularly to maintain humidity.  When watering, always use tap water at room temperature to avoid any bacterial infection.

HANDY TIP

One of the traditional ways to ensure germination is to fold a damp sheet of kitchen paper in half, and place the seeds on their edge in the fold.  Then place in a plastic bag and put them in the airing cupboard.  Check daily and once germinated, place in compost and grow on as normal.
