When is the best time to prune my Cucumber?

Yellowing and spotted leaves need to be pruned off during the growth of the plant to reduce disease infection and to provide more space for new healthy leaves to grow. If you find the fruits are growing too dense and close, please cut off the stunted and small ones to lead more nutrition to the good ones to avoid fruit dropping or the overall failure of fruit production. Moreover, please cut off the dead, wilted leaves and branches to protect the whole plant from diseases and bugs feeding on rotten materials.
