1. Light: Okra is suitable for growing in places with sufficient light, and is generally planted in sunny places.If the flowers are planted on a large scale, we need to pay attention to the planting density, planting too dense will block each other, affecting the internal light transmittance.If it is a family potted plant, it needs to be kept on the balcony to make it fully exposed to light.But the rainy season should be brought in in time to avoid getting sick in the rain.
2. Temperature: Okra likes warm climate and is resistant to high temperature. It grows faster at 25-30 .If the temperature is below 17 C, the growth of the plant will be limited, and it may also affect the flowering of the plant, so that it can not bear fruit.If you plant on the ground, if the temperature is low, you need to do a good job of keeping warm.Potted plants are generally kept indoors in a warm place.
3. Soil: Okra should be planted in loose and fertile soil.Ground planting is generally selected in the deep soil layer, before planting, it is necessary to level and deep tillage, and apply enough base fertilizer, so as to ensure the growth of plants.When the first true leaf grows, it is necessary to thin out the seedlings, remove the weak seedlings and diseased seedlings, and regularly earth up the plants to avoid lodging.
4, watering: Okra in the growth period needs a certain amount of water to grow, so to keep the soil moist, but not too wet, otherwise easy period of disease.It is also necessary to provide adequate water in its fruiting period, otherwise it will affect the quality of the fruit.
5. Fertilization: In addition to full base fertilizer when planting okra, topdressing should be carried out regularly.First of all, when the seedlings emerge, the seedling fertilizer should be applied once, after the completion of planting, the seedling fertilizer should be applied once, and the compound fertilizer should be selected to supplement a variety of nutrients.When it blossoms and bears fruit, it needs to be applied again to improve the quality of the fruit.
Okra is an annual plant, generally after emergence, it takes 50-55 days to blossom, from flowering to harvesting as long as 85-120 days is enough, so the whole growth period is about 170 days.
