Question 1

What is the optimal temperature for Cucumber?

Accepted Answer

There is an ideal temperature range that makes Cucumber feel at home. Under these temperature conditions, it's unlikely that you’ll have any issues with cold or hot damage to the foliage, but changing leaf colors can absolutely be a sign that Cucumber isn’t happy. Try to keep your Cucumber well within its preferred range of 70-85℉(21-30℃), but don’t panic if the temperature creeps up past 85℉(30℃) during the day or down to 70℉(21℃) at night.

Question 2

How can I protect Cucumber from extreme temperatures outdoors?

Accepted Answer

If your Cucumber happens to be planted outside, then there’s not much you can do to try to move it indoors. However, you can certainly provide cover in ways that will help it survive any extreme temperatures that may arise unexpectedly. For instance, you can always use a few stakes and some cloth to put together a shade tent that will block out much of the sun’s intense heat from direct sunlight exposure.

Similarly, Cucumber can be protected from the extreme cold and especially chilly winds by building a small greenhouse around the plant, which will create a greenhouse effect and warm the plant up. This can be done using garden stakes and any sort of clear or translucent plastic you may have around; if you have greenhouse plastic such as polycarbonate laying around, this works perfectly. Remove the greenhouse once temperatures warm up to 40℉(10℃) at night.

Question 3

What is the best way to maintain the right temperature for my Cucumber?

Accepted Answer

Keeping your Cucumber at the right temperature can be fairly simple. Depending on where you grow it, Cucumber can be fairly easy to accommodate. For indoor growing, you can easily move the plant to different locations within your indoor space that best meet its temperature requirements. Avoid placing it near air conditioning vents, heaters, doors that open frequently, or drafty windows.

It is a little more difficult to control the temperature around your Cucumber if it’s grown outside. Of course, if it’s planted in a pot, you can simply bring it indoors when the temperatures outside get too hot or too cold for Cucumber, but otherwise, you may need to take different measures to protect it from extreme heat or cold that may damage it irreversibly. Try placing Cucumber under cover to protect from both the harsh sun that can overheat it and any cold wind that could be potentially deadly for your plant.
