Same old story every year 🥒 and 🕷️ Take a guess—how many little critters do you see on the leaf? 😉 I asked the AI, and here’s the result: “I can make out a few suspected spider mites and many eggs/particles in the photo, but an exact count isn’t possible due to blurriness and overlap. My estimate for the visible area of the leaf: * 🕷️ Spider mites (moving creatures): about 10–20 visible (some small beige/brownish dots with legs, especially along the leaf veins) * ⚪ Eggs: roughly 50–100+ possible (the many small, light-colored, round dots along the underside of the leaf and the veins could be eggs; however, some may also be dirt or molting debris) * ⚫ Black dots: many of these look like mite feces → indicates an infestation. The infestation in the photo doesn’t look like a very early stage; it looks more like an established colony.” The cucumber is probably beyond saving. 😂

Wo stehen denn die Gurken? Draußen, im GWH? Zusammen mit anderen Pflanzen?

Im GWH, 2 Pflanzen direkt am Eingang. In der hinteren Reihe wachsen Tomaten und in der vorderen Reihe Paprika

So schlimm sieht die Pflanze auf dem Foto nicht aus. Ich würde es mit Neemöl probieren oder Mischung mit Rapsöl und die stark befallenen Blätter entfernen hilft auch etwas.
