About -

Refresh your garden with Richgrow Seeds Snake Cucumber (Kakdi) Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Cucumis sativus), ideal for home gardeners and farmers seeking crisp, flavorful harvests at an unbeatable price! Known as Snake Cucumber or Kakdi, this variety produces long, slender, dark green fruits, measuring 30–45 cm in length and weighing 200–300 grams, with a smooth, tender skin and a crisp, mildly sweet flesh, perfect for salads, pickles, raitas, or fresh snacking, ready to harvest in 45–55 days. Packed with vitamins C, K, and 95% water, these cucumbers promote hydration, skin health, and digestion, offering low-calorie nutrition. The vigorous, climbing vines, sprawling 2–3 meters, are resistant to pests like cucumber beetles and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring to early summer (February–April) or monsoon season (June–July) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 1–2 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% coco peat, pH 6.0–7.0) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 45–60 cm apart in rows 1–1.5 meters wide; soak seeds for 6–8 hours to achieve 85% germination within 5–10 days at 20–30°C. Provide trellises or netting for vine support, maintain moist soil with regular watering (1–2 liters per plant daily), and fertilize with organic compost or vermicompost every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil for pests like aphids or spider mites. Harvest cucumbers when 25–30 cm long for optimal tenderness, picking every 2–3 days to encourage continuous production, with good shelf life when refrigerated. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (15–20 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
