When installing a greenhouse on a summer cottage plot, crop yields generally increase.

After all, a greenhouse is an excellent means for growing crops, as it protects plants from adverse weather conditions.

However, even in this case, it is impossible to protect yourself 100% from unpleasant surprises, warns Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, landscape designer and agronomist.

Why cucumbers can wilt in a greenhouse

As a rule, there can be only one reason: the plants do not have comfortable conditions for proper development. If the temperature is not the most comfortable, then the cucumbers may begin to wilt.

To avoid this, you need to remember the simplest rules.

First of all, it is important to protect the crop from sudden temperature fluctuations. Therefore, daytime heat should not be followed by nighttime cold.

During the day, cucumbers feel comfortable if the temperature does not rise above 28 degrees and does not fall below 22.

At night, the temperature can be maintained within 19 degrees.
