* It is convenient to grow cucumbers "in a spiral" in greenhouses.
With this method, cables are stretched under the roof of the greenhouse, on which spirals of aluminum wire (diameter 8 mm) hang in a PVC braid.
Such spirals are easily removed from the cable and put on it with hooks.
After the cucumber seedlings are planted in the greenhouse, the spiral is removed from the cable, it is carefully wound onto the plants so that the stem of each cucumber is inside the spiral,
then the spiral is hung on the cable.
Throughout the season, it is necessary to ensure that the plants do not leave the spiral and fill the top into the spiral in a timely manner. This method of support can also be used on tomatoes.
An aluminum wire spiral is much more reliable than a rope.
When growing cucumbers, it should be remembered that excessive planting density can lead to mutual inhibition of plants, stunted growth and development,
delayed fruiting, reduced yields, and poor fruit quality. Therefore, after the appearance of the first true leaf in plants, they are thinned out.
When thinning, do not pull out the plants, but rather cut them at ground level. After thinning, cucumber plants are sprinkled with peat or sawdust with a layer of 2-3 cm.
If thinning is delayed, the plants stretch out, produce late lateral shoots, and the yield decreases.
It is preferable to loosen the beds of grown cucumbers with a pitchfork, which are stuck between the rows of plants and immediately pulled out without making any movements to the side.
This method of loosening has a positive effect on the development of the root system of cucumbers located in the upper soil layer.
Before flowering, cucumbers are best watered in the morning, and during flowering and fruiting - in the evening.
On a cloudy day, the watering rate is somewhat reduced, but the soil should not be dry.
To increase the yield and the rapid ripening of cucumber greens, the main lashes of the plant must be laid out in empty places, pinned with horned sticks to the ground and sprinkled with soil;
to form the root system and enhance the nutrition of the plant, thin shoots that do not have ovaries must be cut off, and pinch the side shoots to a length of 35-40 cm.
