The soil for planting should have a small amount of peat in it, which will allow the crop to ripen even faster. It should also contain drugs such as Perlite or Vermiculite.
Until leaflets appear on the seedlings, the humidity in the greenhouse should be more than 90%. As soon as the formation of the first sheets, the humidity can be reduced to 80%. Watering of planting material should be carried out with water of a certain temperature. It should not be less than 20 ° C. Otherwise, the root system may freeze and not produce a crop.
As soon as you decide to plant cucumbers in the open ground, you should wait until the soil warms up to a mark of 20 ° C. You should also loosen the earth a little so that a sufficient amount of air enters the root system. This will prevent rot. On 1m2 should not be planted more than 2 plants.
