This plant is typically grown in a designated vegetable garden. It should be grown in full sunlight to ensure healthy growth and fruit production. It thrives in average to evenly moist conditions but does not tolerate standing water. Persian No Peel Cucumber is adaptable to various soil types but grows best in rich, well-drained soils.
