When is the best time to plant cucumbers?

What month is suitable for planting cucumbers?

Cucumbers are best planted in spring, around March or April , but the planting temperature must be kept above 18 degrees, so March is suitable for planting in the southern region.

However, the northern region is suitable for planting in April, and cucumbers can also be planted in summer and autumn, in summer in May-June and in autumn in July-August.

Cucumber Planting Methods

1. Choose a planting site: Cucumbers are suitable for growing in soil with a pH between 5.8 and 7.8, and the soil must have good drainage and a certain ability to retain fertilizer. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure that the planting site has sufficient light.

2. Choose seeds: When planting cucumbers, you should choose those with higher yields, strong disease resistance, and strong heat resistance, and then select healthy seeds for planting.

Cucumber planting points

1. Soil: Choose soil with deep soil layer, loose soil and strong permeability for planting. Waste materials such as straw can be applied to the soil in the form of fertilizer. These organic fertilizers can promote the growth of cucumbers.

2. Temperature: During the cucumber planting process, pay attention to temperature changes. For cucumbers grown in greenhouses, pay attention to the temperature which should be controlled between 28-32 degrees. Too high or too low temperature will affect the growth of cucumbers.
