How to grow okra

1. Treatment before sowing

Because the shell of okra seeds is relatively hard, in order to increase the germination rate of the seeds, the seeds should be soaked in warm water at 25 to 30°C in advance, and they will germinate in about 7 days.

2. Sowing Method

Choose fertile soil, preferably garden soil, add some organic fertilizer and fine sand, water the soil thoroughly before sowing, place the germinated seeds evenly on the soil, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil. The thickness of the soil should just be enough to cover the seeds. After the okra seedlings grow 4 or 5 leaves, you can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer.

3. Post-maintenance

Okra needs plenty of sunlight during its growth process, and it is not afraid of high temperatures, so choose a place with plenty of sunlight and pay attention to keeping the soil moist.
