Growing cucumber seedlings can be a hassle, a waste of time, and result in a lack of harvest.
Although the ideal option is to use your own seeds, most gardeners face the problem of crop failure.
And the reason may be the mistakes that novice gardeners make when growing this crop.
How to Grow Cucumbers Properly
There is a simple rule for growing cucumbers that never fails and allows you to harvest a large crop of juicy cucumbers every year.
Pay attention to two important nuances: suitable seeds and their viability period.
Last year's or stale seeds will not be able to produce a huge harvest, because such abilities are partially lost.
Planting dates
The optimal time for planting cucumbers in open ground is approximately 3 weeks from the planting date, and there is no need to keep the seedlings too long, otherwise they may get sick.
Warming up technique
Most gardeners rush to plant or do not maintain the right temperature.
Containers with cucumbers should be kept at a temperature of approximately 25 degrees Celsius.
If the soil in the greenhouse cools down to plus 5 degrees at night, then you can’t expect friendly shoots – there is a high probability that they will rot.
If the temperature fluctuates greatly and remains below plus 15-16 degrees, then cucumbers will have great difficulty sprouting.
It is best to keep pumpkin seeds at a high temperature - and they will quickly sprout literally before your eyes.
