DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Cucumbers require bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. They thrive in moderate temperatures and prefer a humid environment. Regular watering is essential, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure the plant is protected from extreme temperatures and strong winds.Oogst
Cucumis sativus, commonly known as cucumber, should be harvested when the fruits are firm, uniformly green, and have reached the desired size, typically 50-70 days after planting. Harvesting is best done in the morning when the fruits are cool and crisp. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the cucumbers from the vine, leaving a small stem attached to the fruit. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more fruits. Avoid letting cucumbers over-ripen on the vine as this can lead to bitterness and reduced plant productivity.Bodem
Cucumbers prefer well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root diseases. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal for cucumber growth.Kunstmest
Cucumbers benefit from a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 (N-P-K). Fertilize the plants every few weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit development.Verpotten
Cucumbers are typically grown directly in the ground or in large containers. If growing in containers, repotting is not usually necessary as they are annual plants. However, ensure the container is large enough to accommodate the plant's root system and has good drainage.Voortplanting
Cucumbers are propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds directly in the soil after the last frost date when the soil has warmed up. Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart. Thin the seedlings to the strongest plants once they have developed a few true leaves.Snoeien
Pruning is beneficial for cucumber plants to encourage better air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. Remove any yellowing or diseased leaves and trim back excessive growth to focus the plant's energy on fruit production. Regularly check for and remove any suckers that develop in the leaf axils.Toxiciteit
Cucumbers are not toxic to pets or humans. All parts of the plant, including the fruit, are safe to consume. However, the leaves and stems may cause mild stomach upset if ingested in large quantities.Aanvullend
Cucumbers can benefit from trellising or staking to keep the vines off the ground, which helps prevent diseases and makes harvesting easier. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
