How long does it take for cucumbers to germinate?

The germination time of cucumber generally takes about 5 to 7 days. If the cucumber seeds are properly soaked before planting, the germination speed of cucumber can be invisibly accelerated. At the same time, cucumber grows rapidly after germination, and the flowering and fruiting period is generally in summer. It is a higher-yielding vegetable variety.

Cucumber germination time

It takes about 12 days for cucumbers to sprout. After the cucumber seeds are sown, leaves will generally grow in about a week. In addition, the most suitable growing time for cucumbers is in spring, and the seedling tray germination method is usually used for planting, which can advance the germination time.

Management of cucumber seedlings

1. Water management: During the seedling stage, the seedlings have a well-developed root system and a large growth rate. Sufficient water supply is necessary to promote the normal development of the seedlings. Therefore, the principle of "squatting while growing" and controlling temperature instead of water should be adopted to regulate water. Watering should be carried out in the morning when there are consecutive sunny days, and the amount of water should be sufficient each time. If it is cloudy for consecutive days after watering, the seedlings are prone to disease.

2. Light adjustment : When growing seedlings in containers, in order to make each part of the seedlings grow uniformly, you can rearrange them according to their size, placing small seedlings in the middle of the seedbed with better temperature and light conditions, and large seedlings around the seedbed.

3. Seedling training : In order to make the seedlings adapt to the environment after planting and quickly grow, the ventilation volume can be increased 5 to 7 days before planting to cool the seedlings. Seedlings grown in nutrient soil should be cut in advance to promote the growth of new roots and accelerate the growth of seedlings after planting.
