The tip for watering cucumbers in the seedling stage is to ensure that the soil is moist.

Before planting cucumbers, you need to water them thoroughly to ensure that the soil is moist. After the cucumbers have slowed down their seedlings, water them again, and then water them appropriately according to the conditions of the cucumbers. If the cucumbers are not set and watered hastily, it will easily lead to leggy growth, failure to bloom and bear fruit normally, and affect the yield.

For vigorously growing cucumber plants, the leaves and stems grow quickly and need to be watered appropriately and sparingly. If the cucumber leaves turn black and green, when the branches and vines grow and shrink together, you need to add water in time. When the leaves of the plant are light yellow, the tendrils are thick and straight, and the leaves are large and thin, you need to consider watering less to prevent the plant from becoming leggy. question. Generally, the cucumber fruiting period lasts 7 to 10 days. Watering once with a small amount of water can solve the problem of water shortage in cucumbers.

Observe carefully in the early stages of harvesting cucumbers. When transpiration is high, watering is generally done once a week. When cucumbers enter the fruiting stage, 50 ppm of gibberellin can be evenly sprayed to promote growth during the growth period of cucumber strips. At this time, the amount of fertilizer and water should also be increased accordingly. Watering should be done every 3 to 4 days. Watering should not be flooded.

Notes on cucumber planting

The planting time of cucumbers is generally divided into two seasons, from January to March in spring, or from June to September in summer. Cucumber seeds need a certain amount of humidity and temperature to grow and develop. Cucumbers can be transplanted from seeds or directly sown.

Generally, seed soaking is commonly used in cucumber sowing. The seeds are scalded with warm boiling water of 50 to 60 degrees for more than 10 minutes for disinfection, and constant stirring is required to avoid burns.

Soak in warm water of about 3 degrees Celsius for 4 to 6 hours, scrub clean, then drain the water, and perform moisturizing germination in an insulated incubator at about 25 to 3 degrees Celsius. , it will sprout in about 18 hours.

Insulated seedlings are raised in greenhouses in early spring. Generally, seedlings are raised in seedbeds. Generally, seedlings are more than 15 and 20 days old and can be planted when they grow to 2 true leaves. Generally, they can be planted on sunny days. In the evening, pay attention to protecting the root system of the cucumbers. Wet the cucumbers with water before they emerge. When the seedlings emerge, they must be planted in order and with soil to avoid damaging the roots.

The row spacing of cucumber seedlings is about 30-40 cm, and the plant spacing is about 35 cm. When the cucumber seedlings grow to about 40 cm, they begin to spin silk and climb vines. At this time, they need to be framed.

We generally use small tree strips or bamboo poles of 1.5-2 meters, with the cucumber seedlings as the center, and build a herringbone shape on top of it, tie it with ropes, and insert the bottom of the bamboo pole into the soil. Prevent being blown over by the wind.
