Cucumber

Among the most beloved and sought-after vegetables, the most important ones are: onion, cucumber and tomato. On our website you will find information about growing rules for each of them. So, to get a good harvest of cucumbers, they should be grown in greenhouse conditions. However, breeders have developed varieties that make it possible to obtain up to 45 fruits from a bush, even in boxes on window sills. This is also discussed in the corresponding section.

In greenhouse conditions, cucumbers can be grown both from seedlings and from seeds. The main thing is to maintain high levels of humidity and heat. If only 12 C of soil is enough for seeds to germinate, then the active growth of a green plant begins at a temperature of at least 20 C. It is very important to organize a bed, which will require fertilizers such as manure, humus, superphosphate and others.

Don't forget to pay attention to the information about the rules for planting seeds. One of the most important is the following: cucumber seedlings do not tolerate frost, so they are planted several times in the interval of 7-14 days, but not before the soil warms up to 12 C. During the growth period, cucumbers like abundant watering, but for this the water must warm up to sun up to at least 20 C. In this section you will find a lot of useful information about further care, feeding, etc.
