If the variety is cultivated indoors, it should pick up an additional pollinator. A different kind of cucumber, for example, Phoenix, can play its role. The fruiting period starts 45-47 days after planting.

Growing and care

In regions with a warm climate, it is allowed to plant Saltan cucumbers directly into the ground; for cold regions, a seedling approach is more acceptable. Small peat pots are used for seedlings, the seeds sown in them are kept in a warm room. As soon as shoots appear, it is worth moving the plant to a cool place (18-20 degrees) for 20-30 days.

They are trying to find a sunny landing site, on a hill. It's good if cabbage, beans or nightshade grew there earlier.The soil is dug up the day before and saturated with organic matter. A week after planting, it is recommended to fertilize the land with nitrogen (for example, cow dung). Subsequently, potash and phosphorus components are introduced into the soil.

Watering should be done regularly, about two to three times a week. Before the procedure, the water should be slightly warmed up. It is not worth hilling the culture, since this can damage the root system and the plant will rot.

Another component of caring for cucumbers is the garter of the bushes. For this purpose, they take a powerful rope and pull it at an elevation of one and a half meters from the ground. Then the shoots are loosely wrapped with a rope, after which the plant itself will grab the support and strive upward.

Soil requirements

For the cultivation of the cucumber variety in question, a choice should be made in favor of loamy, light soils.

In order to collect strong, tasty and beautiful cucumbers on your site, you need to make top dressing. Lack of nutrients can negatively affect the appearance of the plant and significantly reduce the yield. Fertilize cucumbers with organic fertilizers in combination with mineral fertilizers. With the right balance of these components and adherence to the fertilizing schedule, the cucumber yield will be maximum.
