Growing cucumbers in pots

Have bought two female cucumbers from a garden center. They look fine and small flowers have appeared. Do I need to buy a male plant? The label didn’t say their name or if they were already pollinated. OR should I return to the garden center and ask them?

Have read your information pages and I need bigger pots and I need to change the mixture of the compost.

Thank you
Kind regards
