In order to retain water in the soil, do not neglect mulching. For efficiency, try to ensure that the layer thickness is at least 15 centimeters.

The second trick is timely removal of all "tired" parts of plants. In particular, it is recommended to get rid of yellowed, diseased and unnecessary young leaves.

Cucumbers also require a suitable temperature regime. If in the case of a greenhouse it is not difficult to observe it, then plants in open ground must be covered with polyethylene installed on metal arcs at night.
