Growing cucumbers in a greenhouse? Don't let the vine bend over the trellising wire.
Cucumber vines grow long, and once they cross the trellising wire, they need to be brought back down carefully.
As our Agronomist explains, during winter crop management, the supporting wires are brought closer together, and the vine is guided from the inside towards the outside.
The important step? Apply a clip at the trellising point.
The clip supports the vine and helps prevent it from bending directly over the wire, which can affect its future growth.
For greenhouse cucumber cultivation, proper trellising and careful vine positioning matter.
