The safest option would be to maintain the air temperature in the greenhouse within 20-30 degrees Celsius.

Poor nutrition

It is extremely important to ensure that your zucchini does not suffer from a boron deficiency.

This element is not contained in all complex fertilizers, so you should carefully read the composition of the fertilizer before purchasing it.

Lack of light

Zucchini will not ripen well if they do not receive enough sunlight.

For this reason, the bushes should initially be planted at a distance from each other. It is recommended to maintain a distance of at least 60-80 centimeters.
