Medeola virginiana aka Indian Cucumber

With its straightforward care requirements, Indian Cucumber is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Indian Cucumber should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Indian Cucumber loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Indian Cucumber prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Indian Cucumber as it grows vertically.

Indian Cucumber’s native range is Eastern N. America - Nova Scotia to Ontario, Minnesota, Florida and Tennessee.
