• If you don’t have a garden, you can grow cucumbers on your terrace by sowing the 2-3 seeds in a pot filled with potting mix and cocopeat.

Seed Care

• Water the seeds every day to keep the soil moist with a watering can.
• Add a trellis if you want to save space on your terrace.

How to Care for Cucumber

Sunlight: Cucumbers are sun-loving plants, so grow them in a spot where they can receive 6-8 hours of sunlight.

Watering: Water the plants at regular intervals to keep the soil moist.

Soil: Cucumbers need fertile soil to grow well. You can improve the quality of your soil by adding cow manure.

Fertilizer: Fertilize every month with an organic fertilizer.

Pests and Diseases: Leaf spot and bacterial wilt pose danger to the growth of cucumbers. So look for early signs of infection and use the right pesticide.

Harvesting: Cucumbers are ready to harvest after 50-80 days of sowing the seeds. Obtain kheeras before they turn yellow with the help of scissors.
