      10-15L works for me... teh upper end if you don't want to water too often when they turn into triffids.

        ive got one in a 25 litre and one in a ten litre flower bucket just to see the difference and its noticable already, ill pop a foto up later, these are outside tho.

        The one in the g/h is in a 1o l flower bucket.

          My standard answer to this question is the bigger the pot the bigger the crop. Especially for something hungry and thirsty like a cucumber.

            I tend to use 20lt pots for cumbers. Flower buckets need to be watered quite often in hot weather and cumbers are very susceptible to stem rot.
