Planting & Growing

This plant thrives in full sunlight and prefers well-drained, evenly moist soil. It grows best in rich, fertile soils with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Armenian Cucumbers do not tolerate standing water, so avoid overly wet conditions. It's best to avoid planting in areas with heavy urban pollution or near high-traffic zones for healthy growth.
