If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least two true leaves and after the danger of frost has passed.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate growth.

Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Provide support for the vines if necessary.
Handle with care as the fruits can burst when ripe, hence the name "squirting cucumber.
