starts forming bush neobhodiomo start before the beginning of flowering.So, when the germ is not less than 6-7 leaves, the tip of the main shoot prischipnut need about half a centimeter.And, with proper care the greenhouse cucumbers in your start up new side shoots on which the ovaries will be much more than on the main stem.
How to tie cucumbers in the greenhouse
One way is to form a garter bush of three or four stalks of plants.Whiskers with the garter used to side branches.This is done as follows, the main stem to the trellis tied thread, and the formation of the first on the side of the ovary stalk, it must pull up to the main angle of 60 degrees.Then mustache with the main stem is screwed on tight escape.With the growth of the plants, this process is repeated, and of course with time becoming a mustache and has a lot of mustache removal can not be avoided.
Such formation is possible with frequent bush planting - no more than half a meter.And the mustache, even dries, well kept shrub.

pinching occurs only with the young shoots, if the time missed, and the length of the plants was more than 20 cm, and it was too late, of course, affect the crop is not the best.So do not miss the moment.And be careful.
Upon reaching the main stem of cucumber wire to which it is tied up, it is also pinch out, leaving 3 to 4 leaf above the wire and wrapped around her, tying the stem in two places.
