You need to pick that cucumber!  They keep cropping only if you pick regularly  :)  Your plant will need strong supports to keep it from flopping all over the place.  Are you feeding it ? I feed mine with tomato food

Is it a variety that needs pollination? If so would it be better outside  :unsure:

Yes it's an open pollinated one so will need a visit by the bees etc

Still, there's a fruit on it so it's doing ok so far  :)
