Okra planting time

Okra is more suitable for planting in April. It prefers to grow in a warm environment and is a frost-intolerant plant. Therefore, judging from its growth habits, planting in spring is the most appropriate. However, in cold areas, seedlings can be grown in greenhouses in advance.

Okra planting method

1. Land preparation and ridge making: Okra is more suitable for planting in land with deep, loose, fertile soil that can retain water and fertilizer. After selecting a good plot of land, it is necessary to apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil, and dig trenches to make ridges.

2. Planting method: Before planting okra, it needs to be soaked in water for 12 hours. After the seeds absorb enough water, they need to be placed in a warm environment between 25-30 degrees to germinate. After the seeds turn white, they can be planted. After sowing, they need to be covered with a layer of soil.

3. Maintenance and management: Okra will sprout in about a week after planting. After sprouting, it is necessary to thin out the seedlings appropriately to prevent the plants from growing too densely, and the soil should be loosened and weeded regularly.

Notes on planting okra

When caring for okra, you need to pay attention to regular pruning and weed removal to reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. During the maintenance period, there must also be sufficient sunlight and a good ventilation environment to allow it to grow well.
