First time plant mom here!

I was recently gifted a cucumber plant, and it definitely has grown a lot since I received it on May 27! Here’s a picture of it today. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for me? Anything is appreciated :)

I’m glad it looks good!! I have no idea what I’m doing so I’m along for the ride :)) but this little cucumber plant has made me so happy so far!

It looks great, but it will definitely need a bigger pot. Cucumber plants get HUGE

#### Ashton replied on 2023-06-07

Oh gosh! I had no idea what I was getting into with this gift, lol. I’m going tomorrow to pick up a bigger pot and a tomato cage to help stabilize the plant for when it sprouts!

Perfect!! Promise that as long as you have the right supplies, it’s not as hard as you think. You got this :)

It’ll get really leggy. Cucumbers will grab onto all sorts of things and a cage would be super helpful.

I just replanted into a much larger pot and added a tomato cage so I hope that does the trick!

It will. I have one in a put and I’m going to let it grab on to my balcony. In 2020 I started seeds in a plastic bin and it took over my entire balcony.
