Cucumbers like moisture but    do not like soggy soil.  However, keep the soil around your cucumber plants moist, but not too moist, to avoid root rot. Do not water with cold water as this    can make your vegetables bitter.  In this case, you prefer warm water to get sweet cucumbers.

Water your cucumbers generously when planting, then maintain    regular watering frequency.  Water stress can also cause cucumbers to taste bitter. Try not to wet the foliage while watering to prevent fungal diseases. You can also apply mulch to the bottom of the plants to keep the soil cool.

Pruning cucumber plants:

Pruning plants is important; it protects them from disease, promotes healthy and vigorous growth and stimulates fruit formation and flowering. However, it is important to prune cucumbers    to optimize their growth    and get a good harvest. To do this, pinch off above the 2nd   ^leaf    as soon as the plant has developed 4 leaves. This causes two new stems to form. Pinch them off on the fourth   ^leaf  as soon as they have 6 leaves. After forming cucumbers, keep only 4 leaves per stem. Remember that pinching a plant means    pruning the end of the stem and removing the growing tip.
