Cucumber problems
Hello,
I have been growing 3 cucumber plants from seed, 2 of them have suddenly
died & I'm not sure why.
I grew them in 3" pots in an electric propagator in the g'house and they
were quite OK. About 10 days ago I moved them into 5" pots (out of the
propagator) & they seemed quite happy.
They had reached about 9" high, about 5 large leaves each. About 3 days ago,
2 of them died suddenly. Their leaves drooped quite dramatically & if not
for the small cane the whole plant would have keeled over. I brought them
indoors where it is warmer, but there was no improvement.
The weather had turned suddenly colder, but the g'house has a heater with a
frost stat. which keeps it at about 5C minumim.
It is tempting to blame the cold, but I had the same problem last year,
later in the season, after I had transplanted from 5" pots to large tubs.
The weather was much warmer then.
Anybody got any ideas what I did wrong. ??
Thanks
KK
