Growth environment
1. Temperature: Okra likes to be warm, afraid of severe cold, and has strong heat resistance. When the temperature is 13°C and the ground temperature is around 15°C, the seeds can germinate. However, the optimum temperature for seed germination and growth period is 25-30℃. If the monthly average temperature is lower than 17℃, it will affect the flowering results; if the night temperature is lower than 14℃, the growth will be slow, the plants will be short, the leaves will be narrow, there will be fewer flowers, and more flowers will fall. 26-28℃ suitable temperature for flowering, high fruit setting rate and fast fruit development.
2. Moisture: Okra is resistant to drought and humidity, but not waterlogging. Excessive soil moisture during the germination period can easily induce seedling wilt. The fruiting period is dry, the plant growth is poor, and the quality is poor, so the soil should always be kept moist.
3. Light: Okra is particularly sensitive to light conditions, requiring long light time and sufficient light. Sunny plots should be selected, ventilation should be strengthened, and reasonable close planting should be paid to avoid shade each other and affect ventilation and light transmission.
4. Soil: Okra has a wide adaptability to the soil and does not choose soil strength, but it is better to use a deep, loose, fertile, and well-drained loam or sandy loam. Fertilizers are mainly nitrogen in the early stage of growth, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are needed in the middle and late stages. However, if nitrogen fertilizer is too much, plants are prone to lengthening, flowering and fruiting are delayed, and fruit-setting nodes are increased; when nitrogen fertilizer is insufficient, plant growth is poor, which affects flowering and fruit-setting.

How to Plant Okra Seeds
1. Sowing seeds before planting. Since the okra seeds have a hard shell, to increase the germination rate, they should be soaked overnight in water at a temperature of 25 ° C-30 ° C. After soaking the okra seeds in water, the rind becomes softer and easier to germinate.
2. Soil for growing okra Okra soil should be fertile. The soil should be vegetable garden soil with humus and fine sand in a ratio of 6: 3: 1.
3. Plant okra seed density. Take, for example, a single-foot flower pot. Only 3 seeds can be placed. After it has emerged, select the best and strongest seedlings for planting and simply remove the others.
4. Time to plant okra. It can generally be planted outdoors between April and August. Planting begins in March in warmer climates and indoors if the temperature is around 25 °C.
5. Fertilizing for okra planting. Fertilize 3 times during the okra planting process. One is to add organic fertilizers. (basic fertilizer) into the potting soil at the beginning of planting. The second was to apply NPK compound fertilizer once after emergence and seedling planting 30. NPK compound fertilizer was applied once after flowering.
6. Sunlight and watering management for growing okra. Okra needs a lot of sunlight during the growing process and is not afraid of high temperatures. Therefore, when growing okra indoors, it should be placed in a place that has plenty of sunlight. During the entire growing process of okra, keep the soil moist, try to water it before 9 a.m. when the summer temperatures are high.
7. Managing pruning during okra planting. Since it is grown indoors and okra has a large plant, it requires frequent pruning. One way is to cut off the dense branches to make them more airy and lighter. The second is to remove any remaining old flowers and leaves to prevent nutrient intake.8. Disease and pest control in the process of growing okra. Indoor cultivation is less dangerous than outdoor plants. Common diseases include leaf rust, aphids and beetles. Since it is indoors, manual methods of removing pests should be used. If it is more severe, you can spray the plant with carbaryl wet powder 2000 times (lower than the outdoor concentration). Leaf spots and rust are sprayed. Protection against Bordeaux mixture sprays is fine.
