When should a cucumber plant start fruiting

[jacks10]

As the question says.

3 months planted a small cucumber plant now lots of leaves healthy ones thou but no flower or cucumbers insight!
I might of over packed things in my trough so everything is all crammed etc.
Thinking about re potting it on its own as I know bit more understanding what I'm doing?
Will not give up??

I have now moved it and all the leaves have completly wilted it's been growing horizontal and moving it its now trying to grow vertical.

Think can say have now killed it

[Jungle Jane]

You might not have killed it,give it a couple of days & see if it perks up a bit,they do try to grow vertically,they must know they have heavy babies! Some of mine were late to flower,it could be the weather,I noticed flowers the just other day. I'm growing cucino outside.

Mine are in GH and only past week got load of flowers and now couple tiny cucs have appeared.

[muddled]

Mine are just like container gardeners....nothing at all untill the last couple of days and now suddenly a rash of flowers with teeny tiny cukes behind!
Mine are paris pickling and are in the greenhouse.

Cucumbers have suicidal tendencies Jacks10 so it might be doomed...but they also sulk a lot so it might just flounce like a spoilt teenager for a few days and then perk up. Don't over water it, keep it somewhere a bit sheltered to get over the shock of moving and you never know....it might still produce for you!

Mine are also at the flowering stage so don't worry!

I have one cumber plant outside and another inside. I have to say my outdoor one is doing alot better then the indoor ones. I have had a few cucumbers off the plant outside. I am yet to have any from inside the GH.

My outdoor cucumbers are in a sheltered area from the wind and we have loads of bees at the allotment. I I don't know if that has helped.

Than you all
I will give it a week or so I have revitalised my chilli plant so there is hope!

I have a teenager boy so I can compare the two!

I have only started to harvest this last week.

If it continues to fade search cucumber troubles for a little advice.

I am so impatient that I went to the garden centre this morning to see if I can get cucumber miracle gro pods so I can start again but no longer in stock as out of season to my horror!

I now how a pot with a very extremely wilted cucumber plant that I can't see surviving in this heat and pointless watering it.

Been ramaging in the shed and I have a set of spring onion bulbs. Internet says spring onions are ok this time of month. Not to go to waste

[veggiechicken]

You are impatient!! Give the poor plant a chance - its in shock. You've dug it up, repotted it and damaged its roots in the process. Then you put it in a different location. Poor little thing, no wonder it looks miserable. Its needs tlc, not binning.

As an aside, I picked up a battered Cucumber plant for 50p in H0meb@se on Thursday. With a lot of water and cutting off of dead leaves, it looks great now.

[Jungle Jane]

Is the plant a lot worse than yesterday or the same? If things dont improve in a couple of days & you're still thinking of getting rid of the plant (I don't know what condition it's in?) This is the thread Pots mentioned for advice;

Thanks Jane.

[jacks10]

I would take a pic but it's looks a sorry state I gave it good watering earlier today and another watering before bed. Every leaf is wilted so cannot cut any bad leaves.
Will look at the other thread thank you

[jacks10]

sorry to say that the cucumber plant is no more

gave it extra water. Cut a stem of and placed in a tall glass of water but 2 days later no difference.

with the heat didn't help. Will try again next year.
