Okay, i need to know as well. Mine look the same. It has a cucumber baby on it, but otherwise it’s all yellow and dry:(
I water it every day making sure it never dries out
Well for one you probably shouldn't be watering it every day. If you keep the roots constantly wet, they'll rot and the plant will die.
Hm. From what i heard cucumbers need a lot of water. Was that wrong?
Sweeping generalization: they need lots of water, but they also need to be planted in a space that gives them a sufficient root base such that they can go a few days without drying out.
Yes/no, depends on if you water log them or not. You can also add some hydrogen peroxide to oxygenate the soil for around 24 hours in pots.
