Cucumbers

[Wanttogarden]

Hello out of 3 of my cucumber plants only 1 is growing the other two seem to be clumping up at the tip. Any advice? Can I clip the top?

Not really sure but a lot of plants do well with some cutting.

Update : cucumber plant I cut at the tip died same day

Cucumbers kind of grow like tomatoes so clipping the leading vine shouldn't have killed it.

 

[Wanttogarden]

Really that's crazy it was doing just fine until that afternoon it straight died.

 

[YumYum]

Yes. They will branch out like suckers on a tomato if you cut off the leading vine. Pictures can only help.

Mostly they branch and you are advised to keep it to one growing stem, like tomatoes. Clumping at the end and dying like that sound like something quite wrong. Like Yum yum says a picture might help.
