How to make seedlings of cucumbers


 

Cucumber seedlings are an important stage in the cultivation of this vegetable, as well-prepared seedlings contribute to more stable growth and a more abundant harvest.

Here are some steps to help you get your cucumber seedlings right:

Choosing a Cucumber Variety: Before you start growing seedlings, select the appropriate cucumber variety based on your preferences and growing conditions. There are varieties for greenhouse and open ground, hybrid and non-hybrid varieties, early and late ripening.

Soil preparation: For seedlings of cucumbers, use light and fertile soil. You can prepare a mixture of garden soil, humus and coconut fiber, or use a ready-made seedling substrate. Make sure the soil is well drained and not waterlogged.

Sowing seeds: Cucumber seeds can be sown in containers or pots. Make shallow holes in the soil (about 2 cm deep) and place 2-3 seeds in each hole. Then cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil.

Temperature and Light: Cucumber seedlings should be placed in a warm spot at around 25-30°C for successful seed germination. After seed germination, reduce the temperature to 20°C. Cucumbers also require good lighting, so make sure you provide enough light by using supplemental lighting when there is not enough sunlight.

Watering: Keep the soil moist, but don't overwater it to avoid root rot. It is recommended to water cucumber seedlings from below by pouring water into a pan or tray and letting the soil absorb it through the drainage holes.

Picking: When the seedlings of cucumbers reach 2-3 true leaves, it is recommended to carry out a picking - transplanting seedlings into separate pots or cells for more comfortable growth and development of plants.

Hardening off seedlings: Before planting seedlings outdoors, carry out a hardening procedure, gradually getting used to the colder conditions outside. By following these simple steps, you will be able to successfully grow healthy and strong cucumber seedlings that will give you a good harvest of this tasty vegetable.
