Install Supports: Use trellises, stakes, or cages to support cucumber vines and keep fruits off the ground, reducing the risk of disease and pest damage.
Water Regularly: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged by watering cucumbers deeply and regularly, especially during hot weather.

Fertilize Appropriately: Feed cucumbers with a balanced fertilizer or compost tea every few weeks to ensure they have access to essential nutrients throughout the growing season.
