Although cucumbers can also be directly sown outdoors, preculture indoors is recommended. The hardened plantlets are then planted outdoors after the last frosts. Later, the plants can grow up on a climbing aid or be kept creeping on the ground. Plenty of water has a good effect on the fruit quality.
