Why cucumber seedlings dry out and turn yellow: experienced gardeners named the main reasons
As soon as you notice that the cucumber seedlings have started to look dry and a yellow tint has appeared in the color, then it is time to take care of the seedlings.
Otherwise, you may ruin your future vegetable harvest.
The main task of the summer resident is to correctly determine the cause of this phenomenon, reminds landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
Why do cucumber seedlings turn yellow and dry out?
First of all, this phenomenon is associated with the lack of sufficient sun. If cucumbers do not have enough light, they simply will not be able to develop normally.
Also, evaluate the number of seedlings: it is quite possible that the seedlings simply do not have enough water and minerals.
Sometimes seedlings begin to wither because they lack fertilizers. As a rule, we are talking about nitrogen-based compounds. Sometimes cucumbers dry out because the gardener forgets to water the seedlings with sufficient water in a timely manner.
Therefore, analyze your care of seedlings and, if possible, correct mistakes.
