Cucumbers are considered an inconspicuous vegetable, but they do not always produce a rich harvest. However, if you follow a few cultivation rules, you can achieve excellent results in any region.
germination of seeds
Choose winter-hardy hybrids for planting, for example, the Lyubimchik or Likhach varieties. Germinate the seeds on a damp kitchen paper under a lid in a warm place. Cucumber roots are strong, so do not be afraid to damage them when transplanting.
transplanting seedlings
When repotting seedlings, it is important to use additional lighting to encourage the growth of new leaves.
care of the seedlings
Collect and feed the seedlings. Cucumbers are demanding when it comes to fertilizers, especially organic ones. Apply vermicompost regularly and alternate fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Succinic acid is a good stimulant.
landing on the ground
When preparing to plant in the ground, add humus or manure to the planting holes. Mix the fertilizer well with soil and water before planting.
After repotting, help the cucumbers cope with stress with a zircon solution.
Extra Care
Regularly feed cucumbers, alternating mineral and organic fertilizers, including infusions and compost. This promotes lush growth and fruiting.
By following these simple guidelines, you can grow healthy and fruitful cucumbers by harvesting them in cubes.
