Planting & Growing
Diva Cucumber will grow to be about 2-3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3-4 feet. When planted in rows, space individual plants about 12-18 inches apart. This vegetable plant is an annual, meaning it will grow for one season and then die after producing a crop.
This plant thrives in full sunlight and does best in rich, well-drained soil. It prefers evenly moist conditions, but should not be overwatered as it does not tolerate standing water. Diva Cucumbers grow best in slightly acidic to neutral soil and will benefit from occasional fertilization throughout the growing season.
Diva Cucumbers are well-suited for vegetable gardens and containers. In containers, ensure that they receive regular watering and use a high-quality potting mix. Due to its compact nature, Diva Cucumber also works well in small spaces, making it a good choice for small gardens or patios.
