Without regular watering of cucumbers, a summer resident is unlikely to be able to get a good harvest of this garden crop.

It is advisable to water the plant once every two days.

However, it is not only the frequency of the procedure that is important. The temperature of the water used to water the cucumbers is also of great importance.

Unfortunately, many gardeners water the crop with too cold water, forgetting (or not even knowing) that this should not be done.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminded us of an important rule for watering cucumbers.

What kind of water should I use to water cucumbers?

The liquid should be very warm. Its temperature should be at least 30 degrees.

If the indicator is below this mark, then the risk of problems with the development of garden crops will be very high. The emergence of dangerous diseases is not excluded.

To avoid such troubles, cucumbers should be watered with warm water taken from a barrel or other container that is located in an area exposed to sunlight.

On cold days, the temperature of such a liquid will drop, so it will have to be diluted with hot water before use.
