Anyone know their cucumbers?

[Dustyy]

Hi All,
Recently transferred my cucumber seedlings from the protection of indoors where they had grown in to good strong plants and into the greenhouse in good quality compost bags and now, though still growing, the leaves have gone all limp and lifeless!! Have tried watering but no real change.
Tried opening windows for ventilation - no change
Tried closing windows to keep them warm - no change

Anyone got any ideas??

Thanks

If you over water it can be worse than under watering the roots rot. How wet is the compost?.

I had heard that and have tried not to overwater. Have only watered every other day but just in case will not water them for a couple of days and see how they fare.

mine are struggling this year, only one has survived.

cucumbers like their moisture. But can't stand it around their stems. As such, you need to make the compost into a mound around the stems. May not fix your problem though.

Did you damage the roots during transplant?

They'll take a good watering when it's warm but be careful when the temperature is down, especially overnight temperatures.
