Can also be sown all year round. All you need is a window with plenty of light - natural or with a grow lamp. Place the briquette in lukewarm water and let it swell. Place on a dish or growing tray. Stick a seed about 1-2 cm into the growing briquette and cover with the briquette's coconut fibers.

Plant the entire plant, including the briquette, at the same depth as the plant was previously. Note: Do not plant too deep, the cucumber does not like that.
