Why Cucumber Seeds Fail to Germinate

Growing cucumbers together

The factors that cause cucumber seeds to fail to germinate can be divided into two categories: objective (those we can only partially influence or not influence at all) and subjective (those entirely dependent on us). Objective factors include pests, soil conditions, and weather.

Subjective factors involve human error, insufficient knowledge of cultivation techniques, germination temperature, and carelessness in storage or transplanting. In this article, we’ll explore all these factors in detail and identify ways to avoid costly mistakes.

I object, my soil is very, very moist, there have been no shoots for 2 months, but everything has risen beautifully. I personally recommend that you plant any flowers in this place during seed planting, as they pollinate your crop, and when the seedlings come up, immediately transplant the flowers into the flower beds)))Good luck, dear gardeners.

I was very pleased that your cucumber seeds rose within 60 days!!!!, This is a lot and most likely the temperature was very low, and at the same time there were no pathogens in the soil. You are very lucky!!!

In any case, throw dry weeds and let them thrive there, allowing useful microbial fungi to grow. This will provide resistance against the pathogenic pest)
