They hate having wet / damp stems.

Water from below if possible (stand in a tray of water for 10 - 15 minutes). Only water when they need it. When you pot on keep the original root ball slightly "proud" of the new pot's soil - so that the water runs away from the stem.

"Cucumbers wake up every morning and think of a new way to die" :(
