How to Grow Strong Cucumber Seedlings: 3 Rules Many Forget

The key to an excellent cucumber harvest is proper work with seedlings.

If you fail to grow it strong and healthy, then the vegetables will not please you at the end of the season.

What 3 rules for working with seedlings should not be forgotten

Meet deadlines

It is important to remember that it is extremely important to adhere to the terms of work with planting material. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a landscape designer and agronomist, recommends focusing on weather conditions.

Transplantation occurs when the soil temperature warms up to at least 14-15 degrees. As a rule, this happens around the end of May. With this approach, it is worth starting work with seeds no later than April.

Don't forget about the light

In order for the seedlings to be of high quality and strong, they need a sufficient amount of light. Experienced gardeners note that cucumbers should have at least ten hours of light.

Special lamps will come to the rescue.

Determining the landing time

If you are not sure that the seedlings are ready to be "moved" into a greenhouse or open ground, then carefully examine the plant.

If you notice the appearance of five leaves, then you can start planting.
