How to grow Zucchini plants in Terrace Gardens

Updated: Feb 14

Zucchini plants can be grown from young plants or seeds. When starting with seeds, they should be sown directly in the garden or in the grow bags.


They can also be planted together in a single container and can be transplanted to individual grow bags


Optimal soil temperature for germination of the seeds is 25-35°C


When the soil has warmed up in your grow bag, plant seeds one-half inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows that are 2 to 3 feet apart.


Seeds should sprout in 7-14 days after planting them.


Thin plants so that they are spaced 6 to 8 inches apart once they are 4 to 5 inches tall.


After seedlings are grown a few inches height, Thin to one plant per spot once the seeds have sprouted and have grown their first set of true leaves.


Once seedlings are established, create a mulch around the plants to keep the ground temperature stable and also helps the soil retain water
