Description

Plant care

Pinch out the tips of the leading stems of cucumber plants once they have reached the top of the trellis or other support.

Lateral shoots should be pruned two leaves beyond where a fruit is developing to divert the plant’s energy into the development of the fruit, rather than into vegetative growth.

Handy Tip

Cucumbers prefer a moist atmosphere. Keep well watered and feed regularly once fruits start to set.

Nutritional Information

Low in calories and high in potassium, the dark skin is rich in carotenoid antioxidants.

Pests

Cucumbers can be susceptible to glasshouse whitefly.

Diseases

Cucumbers can be susceptible to cucumber mosaic virus and powdery mildew.
