Minuses
The plant also has minor drawbacks:- Culture needs regular fertilization with minerals and vitamins.

The acidity of the soil also matters: it must be slightly acidic. If the soil does not meet this criterion, lime should be added.
The time of sowing cucumbers for seedlings depends on where the crop will grow: for cultivation in a greenhouse, you can start sowing in December, and for open ground, seeds are planted not earlier than April. Humidity in the room in which the seedlings are grown should be 90-95% before the development of the first leaf and 80-85% after its appearance.
It is important to ensure timely watering with warm settled water. For the entire period of growing in a container, 3-5 fertilizing is carried out using complex mineral fertilizers.
Important! Observe the temperature and light conditions when growing seedlings. Air temperature before the appearance of the first shoots should be 25-27 ° C, and after - 20-25 ° C. Also, experts recommend providing additional coverage for young plants for 15-20 hours a day, after the appearance of the first shoots.

A couple of days after planting the plants in a permanent habitat, they are tied up on a trellis, the height of which should be 2.5-2.7 m. The first 4-7 sinuses on the main stem are necessarily blinded.
After this, the lateral processes and excess ovaries are removed, their number should not exceed 2-3 pieces. in one node.
