Are Cucumbers Self Fertilizing?

Cucumbers are self-pollinating. ... Pollen from the male flowers can be used to pollinate the female flowers from the same plant, so there's no need to worry about keeping track of which flowers are from what plant.

Why do my cucumber plants have lots of flowers but no fruit?

A cucumber plant will flower but produce no fruit if there is a lack of either male or female flowers on the plant. A lack of fruit will also occur due to poor pollination. Growing conditions, such as temperature, weather, and nitrogen levels, can affect pollination and flower production.
