Storage Hothouse cucumber should be stored at 50ºF - 54ºF (10ºC - 12.5ºC) with a relative humidity of ninety-five percent and periodic mist. The typical shelf life is less than fourteen days. High humidity is important to avoid shriveling. Hothouse cucumber is very sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Hothouse cucumbers should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid yellowing and decay. Hothouse cucumber produces a low level of ethylene.

Development of chilling injury symptoms can be avoided if used immediately after removal from storage.
