What should I pay attention to when watering okra? How often should I water okra?

1. Watering time

Okra has a greater demand for water during the growth and fruiting periods, and needs to be provided with relatively sufficient water to keep the soil moist. Do not water too much at other times. A too humid environment is not conducive to the development of the plant and may also cause disease. In addition, watering must be done on sunny days, so that the water can evaporate faster and reduce the possibility of water accumulation.

2. Watering interval

Okra is generally watered once every 10 days. If the environment is relatively humid, you can extend the watering interval. If it is in the rainy season, you can stop watering, and if there is accumulated water, it must be drained out in time. In places with slightly drier environments, the watering time should be shortened. The soil should not be allowed to become too dry, as this will be detrimental to the growth of the plants.

3. Notes

1. Water temperature: Okra is a plant that is relatively afraid of cold, so the water temperature for watering needs to be strictly controlled. Do not use too cold water, otherwise the plant will be frozen. As an annual crop, it generally does not experience very cold weather, so just leave it for a while and water it when it is close to the ambient temperature.

2. Water quality: The quality of water is also crucial to the growth of plants. Normally, river water or well water is used for irrigation. If it is planted at home, you can collect some rain water when it rains, which is also helpful for the growth of the plants. Tap water cannot be used directly for watering. It usually needs to be left for a while until the chlorine evaporates before use.
