Some tips for growing cucumbers in a greenhouse

How to properly plant cucumbers in a greenhouse to get a decent harvest that warms the soul and the eye. I am sure that almost every experienced gardener has his own secrets. In this article I want to tell you a few secrets for the most successful greenhouse harvest.

1. Before sowing the seed, you should soak it literally for a day in pre-boiled water at room temperature.

2. In order to get the most successful harvest, it is worth planting several varieties of cucumber in a greenhouse at once, and so as not to confuse them later, put up some notable signs, for example, sticks with the inscription of the variety. It is worth noting that hybrid varieties do not produce seeds for subsequent planting at all, and that is why it is better to combine them with ordinary cucumber varieties.

3. It is advisable to place the greenhouse on purely fertile soils, or to properly fertilize it first.

4. Also, don’t forget about moisture. Greenhouse cucumbers need to be watered abundantly and often, but not at the very peak of the heat, as the plant will begin to get sick. It is better to water cucumbers at sunset and at the very root.

5. There is another effective tip for maintaining moisture in the greenhouse: put a barrel filled with water in which we place nettles. We subsequently water the plant with this water; the process of evaporation also occurs, which creates additional moisture.

6. It is worth noting that under no circumstances should drafts be allowed in the greenhouse.

7. At the stage of 3 leaves, cucumbers should be tied up.

8. Do not forget to pinch the side shoots so that the cucumbers do not disappear into the leaves.
