And how you should pick the flower heads to keep them producing longer, or to help young plants grow bigger, so all the energy is going to the foliage and not the flower... such as with cucumber & pepper plants. So I picked all the first flowers of my young bean plants... but then saw a vid saying to pick excess foliage to spur more flowers to grow. I'm so confused. When should you pick the flowers and when not to ....and on which plants?? I'm growing so many things and this part is so confusing. 😒

@MindandSoil Жыл бұрын
They do! But you can hand pollinate them by using a QTip and taking the pollen from the male flower over to the female flower. Additionally, since it will be winter you'll want to make sure you're heating the greenhouse to at least 70F/20C for them to do well, and to help them grow to their absolute fullest potential a grow light is massively helpful!

Hey Trish! Bitter cucumbers is usually a sign of stress (the plant trying to push out the growth more quickly than natural/normal). I would increase the amount that you're watering as a starting point.
