  • Whats happening to my cucumber plants?

    First time grower this year but our cucumbers pants look a tad dead :/

    Can anyone advise. They were looking very healthy but now the bottom leaves are going yellow and dead looking and the ones near the top are wilted.

    Hi Steve, has the stem been damaged or any mould on it, stopping water reaching the top leaves?

      Look closely at the underside of the leaves. Can you see very fine webbing? if so it's red spider mite. Coming to the end of the season anyway.

            Do they just stop growing even with Cucumbers on ? how can you tell they are drawing to a close.
            Probably sounds like a stupid question lol

            I have just had a look at the leaves and stem and there is no evidence of any damage, nor any fine webbing.

            Some of the leaves have very slight blotching on which goes through the leaf and looks like a small deposit on the back ?

              Also looks like a few bits of mould on the bottom yellow leaves

                Are the leaves soft or crispy? Have the plants been fed over the season? How often and with what?
