SMALL MAGICIAN

Cucumber of the 'Small Magician' variety is an ultra-early parthenocarpic hybrid with female flowering, characterized by high resistance to diseases and stressful growing conditions. The plant is medium-branched and can tolerate temperature fluctuations well, allowing successful cultivation both in greenhouses and in open ground. This variety begins fruiting as early as 35-45 days after germination, making it one of the earliest cucumber varieties.

The fruits of the 'Small Magician' cucumber have an elongated-cylindrical or oval shape, measuring about 9-10 cm in length and weighing 60-110 g. They are large-ribbed, dark green with white spines, possess dense flesh without bitterness or hollows. The cucumbers have a crisp taste and a strong aroma, making them ideal for fresh consumption as well as for pickling and canning.

For successful cultivation, use medium loamy, well-aerated soils. Sow seeds in soil heated to 15-18 °C or grow seedlings at 25 °C, then reduce temperature to 15 °C after germination. Care includes regular watering with warm water after sunset, weeding, loosening soil, and 2-3 feedings with complex mineral fertilizers. Harvest fruits as they ripen to ensure fresh and high-quality cucumbers throughout the season.
