Wanted to share my cucumber plant. Looks like it’s doing really great but I’m only getting male flowers. Any advice?

You would need a female plant to produce cucumbers but keep the male one because you need to pollen from the male to fertilize the female you don’t have to do it by hand if they are close enough but u can ig

It looks like it's still relatively young. Snip the flowers off until it gets a little bigger, and maybe give it a little fertilizer. They want a ton of sun and a ton of water and they're heavy feeders. It looks lovely so far!

You wouldn’t want to give this one too much care all you need it for is the flowers
