Cucumber leaf discolored

Pamela Scruggs
by Pamela Scruggs
I have a wonderful cucumber plant in a container that is growing whopper cucumbers but some of the leaves look like this what could be the cause?
I cannot complain about the production of this plant but I am wondering if this is a bad sign
most of the leaves are huge and green

    Looks normal but could be a water issue, as in too much. However, if the funky leaf is near the bottom of the plant, I wouldn't worry about it. As for editing your post, there should be an "edit" tab somewhere near your copy either at one of the top corners or in an area at the bottom. Poke around. You'll probably find it. NOTE: I just checked on one of my threads I began, look at the far upper right of your post. You'll see a small "down" arrow. Click on that and it will give you options.

      @Pamela Scruggs Don't know much about Scarlett Runners except that they are edible ornamental beans that like to climb and can grow up to 9 feet. Guess yours are behaving as they should. I suppose you could prune the tops out. Perhaps try on one or two to see what happens.

    Probably too much water….cucumbers look great!

    To much water

    Water splashing up on the leaves usually causes this. Try filling a gallon jug with water and letting it sit for a day or two to get out the chlorine and other chemicals, then water gently, just the soil. This should correct the problem.

    cut them off and it would be better for the other leaves. I have the same problem here in central Texas. I cut them off when they start turning and the plant starts to bloom and produce more and more.
