Important Tips for Cucumber Plants
See each variety for specific information.
- If vines bloom but do not fruit, something is probably interfering with pollination.
First, make sure that you see both male and female blooms. Male blooms usually appear first and then drop off, so do not be alarmed if this happens when the plant begins to bloom. Nothing is wrong. - Within a week or two, female flowers will also appear; they have a small cucumber-shaped swelling at the base that will become a cucumber; male blooms do not and they fall off after a day.
Cold weather, rain, and insecticides that kill bees can hamper pollination. You cannot change the weather, but do avoid spraying or dusting a pesticide toxic to bees; this is always stated on the product label. Also, consider planting bee balm, zinnias, lantana, and other flowers that attract bees to the edges of your garden. Planting a row of these is also a great way to have flowers on hand for cutting, as well as making sure your plants will be pollinated.
