How to Propagate Burr Cucumbers?
Primary propagation of burr Cucumbers is via seed sowing. Key factors for success include warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and partial to full sun exposure. Seed dormancy can be an issue; thus, scarification or soaking the seeds before planting can improve germination rates. Propagation can be challenging due to the plant's fast-growing, invasive nature. To propagate, follow these steps: 1) Collect ripe seeds in late summer. 2) Scarify or soak seeds overnight. 3) Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-draining soil after the last frost. 4) Keep moist until germination, ensuring good light exposure. 5) Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle.
