Cucumber 'Hopeline' F1
Cucumber 'Hopeline' F1
Cucumis sativus
Delicious Asian-type mini cucumber with slightly drier flesh and a more intense taste. Suitable for growing in ampel, but can also be tied up in a pot. Does not need to be pollinated. Don't let the cucumbers get too big - harvest at 10cm. Harvest as they ripen and eat fresh. Pinch out at desired height.
Pre-cultivation: April - May. 4-6 weeks before planting out. Sow 1 seed/pot (2/3 fertilized soil, 1/3 seed soil on top). Keep moist. Set warm for germination, 25°C. After germination, place in a light place at room temperature. Harden off before planting out at night temp. above 5°C. The root neck is sensitive to moisture. Therefore, plant high so that the water runs away from the stem, no deeper thanj in the seed pot.
