When to top okra

When to top okra

1. Topping time

Generally speaking, there is no fixed time to topping okra. It can be done as long as the plant grows to a certain height. Usually, when it grows to 1 meter or 1.5 meters, it can be topped. The purpose of topping is to allow the branches to sprout and grow better. If you don't pay attention to topping, the plant will not only fail to grow new branches, but also easily grow too tall.

It should be noted that the topping time should not be too early or too late. Doing it too early will affect the results, while doing it too late will easily cause lodging. Only if it is done at the right time, its ornamental and growth conditions will be better.

2. Topping method

When the seedlings grow taller, the tender shoots at the top of the plant should be cut off, usually 3-5cm from the tender shoots. If you don't need to consider the plant shape, you can do it a little later, when the plant grows to 2m. If you want to enjoy the view and get the fruits, it is best to do it when it grows to 1 meter.

3. Notes

If it is cultivated normally, it can be topped when it is growing vigorously. If it is carried out during this period, it should also be combined with the pruning of useless branches, which can greatly reduce nutrient loss and increase the fruiting rate.
