Cucumber and cucumber is the same kind of plant, the latter is just more tender, the color is not yet completely green, so make a distinction. Usually, the former is longer and finer, dark green in color, and the latter is thicker and shorter, lime green in color. In addition, they also have slightly different textures, but the difference is not great. It should be noted that the southern cultivated cucumber has fewer tumors and thorns, while the northern more spiny cucumber.
Second, how to raise cucumbers
1, light: cucumber is a sun-neutral plant, long light and short light are no problem, its flower buds can be easily formed, will not affect the flowering and fruiting.
2, temperature: cucumber is a warm plant, but intolerant of cold, the daytime temperature should be maintained between 25-32 ℃, the night should be maintained at 15-18 ℃, the temperature difference between day and night does not exceed 15 ℃. Too high a temperature will affect its photosynthesis, too low will make it freeze.
3, watering: the cucumber's need for water is relatively large, the humidity of the soil should be maintained between 60% and 90%, the seedling period can be a little less, and the fruiting period should be to ensure that there is enough water. In addition, it also has requirements for air humidity, too low is not conducive to growth, too high is prone to disease.
4, fertilization: cucumber is more like fertilizer, but intolerant of fertilizer. In the planting time to apply enough bottom fertilizer, more choice of rotting organic fertilizer, with the right amount of calcium superphosphate, so that can provide sufficient nutrients.
