Landing

You can cultivate the Spino variety by sowing the seed immediately into the ground. Seeds purchased in specialized stores have already been treated with fungicides, and have been hardened and heated. For gardeners, this is very convenient and saves the gardener time.

The soil should be warmed up to about +15 degrees, frosts should no longer appear. Prepared wells are filled with a mixture that contains rotted manure, peat, sand and minerals. After abundant watering of the beds, the seeds are laid to a depth of 1.5-2.5 cm. Mulch from humus and peat should be applied to the crops, cover with a film material from above. In greenhouses at the optimum temperature, sowing of seeds can be done already in early May.

Seedling method

Cultivation of the variety by seedling will provide an earlier harvest. Suitable containers, nutritious soil and seed should be prepared for sowing seeds. 2 days before sowing, the land must be decontaminated to get rid of the pathogens of rot and pest larvae. To do this, you can use a solution of potassium permanganate or calcine the soil in the oven. Tanks are filled with light and loose soil based on peat.

Before sowing, the soil must be abundantly moistened. The seed material is deepened by 1.5-2 cm. Top of the container is covered with a film or glass. Crops need to ensure optimal temperature conditions: during the day - +22 degrees, at night - +18 degrees.

You can plant seedlings at a constant place at the age of 20-25 days. 3-5 leaves should be formed on the seedlings. On one square meter, no more than 2-3 plants should be planted.

Care Rules

The main care for the variety is timely abundant watering, feeding, loosening and hilling, as well as tying to trellises. It is recommended to water the bushes with settled warm water.It is better to use drip irrigation. Watering is carried out not often, but plentifully. The procedure is best done after sunset or early in the morning. For the convenience of collecting ripe fruits and for proper care, the lashes of cucumbers should be tied to vertical trellises. Thus, the fruits will grow by weight, and will not pick up the fungus from the soil. To increase productivity, it is advisable to normalize the number of ovaries on the bushes. On one bush there should not be more than 20 ovaries.

Top dressing should be applied several times during the summer. Additives should alternate between organic mineral fertilizers. During flowering and during active fruiting, it is required to introduce complex additives and increase the water consumption for irrigation. If the soil is not mulled, then the topsoil should be loosened regularly to avoid crusting and saturate the soil with oxygen. It is necessary to carry out loosening carefully, without injuring the roots.
