What causes cucumbers to stay short with pointed ends?
Cucumbers may remain short with pointed ends due to several factors, including inadequate water supply, nutrient deficiencies, and poor pollination. Insufficient moisture can stunt their growth, while a lack of key nutrients like potassium or nitrogen can affect their shape and size. Additionally, if flowers are not properly pollinated, it can lead to deformed fruits. Environmental stressors, such as extreme temperatures or pest infestations, can also contribute to this issue.
How many volts does a cucumber?
A cucumber can generate a small amount of voltage when connected to a circuit, typically around 0.5 to 1 volt. This is due to its natural electrolytic properties, which allow it to conduct electricity when it contains enough moisture. However, this voltage is not sufficient for practical applications and is mainly of interest in educational demonstrations about bioelectricity.

A pot with a stake can be sufficient to provide support and keep the plants upright, helping to prevent disease and improve air circulation.
