Cucumber can be said to be "a vegetable grown with water," so be sure to keep enough water. In the summer, each morning and evening, pour water one time and drench it. The suitable temperature for cucumber growth is lower than other summer vegetables. It is better for beginners to plant seedlings as soon as possible, which makes it easier to cultivate them.

Transplanting period: mid-April to mid-May

Growth temperature: 18°C~25°C

Harvest period: mid-June to mid-September

Cultivation Container: The size of a planted plant was 25 cm in height and 25 cm in height.

Placement environment: Adequate sunshine and good ventilation. Be careful not to let the wind blow the flower pot.

Cucumber cultivation method

1. Start with the seedlings.

Seedlings should be purchased as soon as possible in mid-April. After the purchase, it should be transplanted into a large culture container as soon as possible.

2. Watering

Before the end of the rainy season, pour water once a day in the early morning.

Pay attention to check the topsoil. If there is a dry phenomenon, you should pour water again in the evening. Must ensure adequate moisture.

Tip: Use a coir mat or moss to cover the surface to prevent drying.

3. Plug rack

The cucumber grows very fast and should be inserted at the same time as the seedlings.

Shorter scaffolds can be used initially and replaced as the plants grow.

Tip: It is possible to set up a stand with a height of about 100cm from the beginning, so that the trouble of replacement can be saved.

4. Pollination when flowering

The same cucumber has both female and male flowers.

The root of the female flower has grown a small cucumber, so it can be identified at a glance. Although cucumbers can be naturally pollinated, artificial pollination results in smoother pollination. When pollinating artificially, male flowers are removed and the female flower is rubbed with its central part.

Tip: Artificial pollination is recommended on the first morning after flowering.

5. Fertilization

For stable growth of cucumber plants, organic fertilizer should be applied once every 10 days.

Cucumbers grow faster and start fertilizing sooner than other vegetables.

6. Picking the core

When the trunk is almost as tall as the stent, it is necessary to remove the top bud to prevent it from growing higher and promote the growth of the gum buds.

7. Diseases and pests

Cucumber is susceptible to mildew. If a large amount of white powdery material appears on the leaves, it should be removed as soon as possible.

Put the cucumber in a well-ventilated place. Pay attention to flush the inside of the leaves when watering, so as to prevent pests and diseases.

8. Harvest

Gherkins on the roots of female flowers grow quickly and take only about 10 days from flowering to harvesting.

If the fruit is too large, it will harden, or the seeds inside will become bigger, so it should be harvested as soon as possible.

Cucumbers have to look at the planting cheats

1. In order to make the thin melon vine easily wound on the bracket, it can be guided by aluminum wire hooks.

Shorten the aluminum wire and make an S-shaped hook on the vine to pull it closer to the bracket. When the vine is completely wrapped around the bracket, the hook is removed and ready for next use.

2. The slender guava vine grows straight at the beginning. When you touch a nearby object, the top will gradually roll. If other pots are placed next to the cucumbers, the vines may become entangled with the leaves of other plants and care must be taken.

3. Flowers bloom in competition. Female and male flowers are distinguished and artificial pollination is performed. If you want to spend more, don't forget to apply fertilizer.

4. In order not to increase the burden on the plants, the first fruit should be removed in time when it grows to 15cm.
