Depending on the climatic zone and family needs, gardeners install heated or “cold” greenhouses. Despite the fact that the microclimate in the greenhouse is considered more favorable, the plants must be adapted to overheating and sharp temperature fluctuations at night. In greenhouse conditions, the air is more humid, the ventilation is difficult, the plants are planted tightly - as a result, the risk of developing diseases increases: root rot, powdery mildew, peronosporoz, bacterioses.
Particular attention should be paid to the preparation of the soil and fertilizers, for the realization of the potential potential yield, regular feeding is obligatory. Cucumbers in the greenhouse require shaping, including pinching, pinching and removing waste lower leaves. Without growth regulation, do not get plentiful and prolonged fruiting.
Have a good harvest!
