Fruit cucumber can grow under conditions that are not exposed to direct sunlight or completely shaded. However, it is necessary to pay attention to shading during the early growth stage, as young cucumbers can easily wither after being exposed to direct sunlight.

II. Sowing
After receiving the seeds of fruit cucumber, expose them to direct sunlight for about 4 hours, then soak the seeds in 50-degree water overnight. Let the seeds germinate in slightly warm weather, and after the sprouts appear, they can be transplanted and sown. Place the seeds in holes in the soil, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and that's it.
The growth rate of fruit cucumber is very fast, and you can harvest a cucumber in about two months. Generally, a temperature of around 25°C is most suitable for sowing, which is spring and autumn.
III. Watering
In order to keep up with the water needed by fruit cucumber, it is necessary to water every 2-3 days after the seedlings have grown, and it is especially important to water every day during the hot summer. Try to control the watering time to early morning or after sunset to prevent the plants from being stimulated by cold water when the soil temperature is too high at noon, which can cause rapid wilting.
