Does it look like my cucumber sprouts are over- or under-watered ? :( they looked the same yesterday and seemed like they perked up after watering but started drooping again today, i’m scared to water more if they’re overwatered

    That pot may be a little too big for them to do much growing right now. I try to keep the littles in smaller pots until their roots are more plentiful

      thanks! I had them in a small pot but their roots were growing out of the bottom! i figured i’d transplant directly into the big pot so i dont have to keep transplanting and stressing them out; if the pots too big does that mean i’ll have to water more frequently?

      You’ll need to keep the soil around the roots moist. That’s harder to maintain when it’s too big but not impossible

      In my experience cucumbers hate to be re-potted it’s probably because it’s just acclimating that’s how my sunflowers acted but I’m not sure

    Also if you think you over watered I like to put paper towel on the soil to suck up excess moisture. And also make sure the pot you have has holes.

      I’m using a fabric pot that doesn’t have holes but i think does let water drain out, should i poke some holes in the bottom to make sure the water is able to drain better? i have had issues with root rot with other sprouts in the past and im not sure if i always water too much or the cloth pot doesn’t drain well enough
