Then there is the post-maintenance of the okra. The okra in the flowerpot can be maintained in a ventilated and bright place. It is best to have a small yard for growing vegetables, so that the okra will grow faster. In the process , Watering about once every three days, and many people put some in the flower pots, they often have some nutrients that can promote the growth of okra.

After okra seedlings, transplant them as soon as possible. If placed for a long time, the seedlings will grow in the original pot and it is not easy to take out. When taking it out of the pot, be careful not to damage the roots of the seedlings. 1. Pave the insect-proof net on the bottom of the cultivation container, and put in 2 thick pot bottom stones. 2. Put in the organic cultivation soil, the thickness is about half of the cultivation container. 3. Hold the roots of the seedlings with one hand, remove the planting pot with the other hand, and take out the seedlings. Do not pull out the seedlings rudely, so as not to damage the roots, you should slowly take out the seedlings from the pot. 4. Gently rub the soil at the roots of the seedlings to disassemble the seedlings one by one.
5. Plant the seedlings evenly in the cultivation container, and add organic culture soil to cover the roots of the seedlings. 6. Use a watering can to water. It should be watered thoroughly until the bottom of the cultivation container is running. Put it in a cool place just after planting. It was placed in a sunny place the next day. The main point is to water once a day. In the hot summer, water once in the morning and once in the evening, and water thoroughly.
7. About two weeks later. The new leaves grow out, the seedlings grow slightly taller, and the new leaves gradually grow out. Place in a well-lit area and water more. From this point on, organic fertilizer will be applied every 10 days. Liquid fertilizer can be used when watering, and solid fertilizer can be placed on topsoil. Note that there are small white dots on the back of the leaf! ? There are many salt-like crystal grains attached to the back of the leaves and stems.

However, it blooms in the early morning and withers before noon, which is extremely short-lived. After the flowers die, they bear pods.
9. About two months later. About 10 days after flowering, the pods grow to 6-7, and they can be harvested at this time. When picking, use scissors to cut off the roots of the pods. The remaining immature pods continue to absorb nutrients, so the leaves on the harvested stalks have to be removed. Okra grows fast, don't miss the harvest period. If the pod grows too large, it will become very hard.
Decide how to plant okra seeds. If you grow in a place with hot summers and warm winters, it is easiest to grow okra in the garden instead of indoors. You need to plant the seeds in the early spring after the last frost, when the temperature in the evening is not lower than 13 degrees Celsius. If you live in a place that does not reach this temperature before late spring or early summer, then you should plant seeds indoors two to three weeks before the last frost. When the seedlings are stronger and the weather is warmer, transplant them outdoors. Indoor seeding. Plant them in a seeding cup, then water them frequently, and place them in a warm, sunny room, or use a growth lamp to ensure the temperature during the germination period. When the weather gets warmer and you are ready to transplant seedlings, follow the method of growing okra outdoors.
Choose a place with the most sun in your garden. Okra grows best in hot places. If you plant in a shady place, you won't bear a lot of fruit. Okra should be planted in a place where there is at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Don’t worry about getting too hot. Okra will still grow even when the sun is hottest in summer.
