I’m new to gardening and started my plants indoor. I noticed this today with my cucumbers… should I be concerned? Any help/feedback would be appreciated.

Sorry to hear and see but aside from the one damaged leaf, the plant looks healthy.

#### Courtney J. replied on 2026-03-18

Should I do anything to the damaged leaf?

### Gracie commented on 2026-03-18

I’d say wait till the true leaf (in the centre that is forming) forms first before anything.

Thanks so much!

### Gracie commented on 2026-03-18

Have you noticed any change in growth rate ?

#### Courtney J. replied on 2026-03-18

I think so. I think I overwatered my tray because some of my seedlings are beginning to droop.

#### Courtney J. replied on 2026-03-18

They’re growing steadily though

#### Gracie replied on 2026-03-18

Slow down on the watering for a few days.

#### Courtney J. replied on 2026-03-18

Will do, thanks!
