Cucumbers need to be given special conditions in order to obtain a generous and high-quality harvest in the future.

You just need to monitor the condition of the cucumbers and avoid common mistakes.

The first mistake is excessive moisture. You need to make a hole in the seedling cups so that excess water can escape. When the seedlings are already moved to open ground, watering is carried out once every two days.

The second mistake is the lack of nutrients. Cucumbers also need additional feeding.

Don't forget to add loosening and nutritious components. These can be manure, vermicompost and ash. Cucumbers also like fertilizer made from green grass.

The third mistake is when the cucumber stem stretches too much. If the plant has stretched out, you need to bury it deeper into the ground.

This will stimulate the development of lateral roots, and the plant will receive more nutrients, which will affect the yield. The long stem is bent to the ground and sprinkled with soil so that roots begin to appear on it, and fruits on the top.

The fourth mistake is too low or too high temperature for growing cucumbers. During the day it should be 20-22 degrees Celsius, and the seeds germinate at 25. You should also pay attention to the region of residence.

If necessary, then it is better to hide the seedlings under cover.

The fifth mistake is the lack of support in a stressful situation.

If the temperature fluctuated and then there was heavy watering, the plant is experiencing stress.

To support the culture, you will need succinic acid. Add 2 grams to 10 liters of water. This fertilizer is used for watering under the roots and for spraying the plant.
