Bred for greenhouse excellence, Mojito produces distinctive fruit with thin skin that requires careful handling but rewards you with delicate texture and refined character. The compact growth habit makes it efficient in space, while its 50-day maturity means you're harvesting within two months of transplanting. Its parthenocarpic nature sets it apart for controlled-environment growing, where pollination can be unpredictable.
Mojito Cucumber is grown primarily for fresh consumption in greenhouse and tunnel operations where climate control ensures consistent fruit quality. Its thin skin and refined character suggest use in fresh applications rather than pickling.

Sow seeds indoors in 50-cell plug trays, placing 1 to 2 seeds per cell, 3 to 4 weeks before your transplant date. Use a heat mat to maintain temperatures at 80 to 85°F until seedlings emerge, then reduce to 73 to 76°F day and a minimum of 70°F night. Transplant once seedlings have developed approximately 3 true leaves, before they begin stretching in the tray.
Move seedlings outdoors once they reach the 3 true-leaf stage. Standard spacing is 12 to 18 inches between plants in rows, with 2 rows per bed, though this may vary depending on your specific setup.
Mojito Cucumber reaches maturity in 50 days from transplants. Harvest fruit at the stage that delivers the standout color and professional appearance Johnny's has bred into this variety. Handle thin-skinned fruit with care during picking to prevent bruises, cuts, or abrasions that compromise quality.
