Appropriate place for growing cucumbers should be sunny and sheltered, the soil fertile, humous and well-drained but at the same time moist keeping. It should also not contain too much nitrogen. Ideal soil pH for cucumbers is 6.0-7.2 even though the plants also cope well with slightly lower pH values. If the soil is very acid liming of the soil is necessary in order to increase its pH value to 5.8 or more. Cucumbers are thermophilic vegetables, the most appropriate temperature for them is between 18°C and 30°C, and for most of them temperature below 10°C is even very harmful. It is worth knowing that it is not only the air temperature that matters but also the temperature of the soil in which the cucumbers grow. Therefore, these vegetables yield best in soils that warm up quickly.
