Step of the balcony okra

Step 1: In March and April, the temperature rose, and the spring flowers bloom. At this time, buy back the okra seedlings, soak the plant for 12 hours and put them at 25-35 ° C. After the seeds “break the mouth” Flower pots, first add a layer of pot stones to the pot, and then spread a layer of cultivation soil, about six minutes. Do not break the root plate when the seedlings are cut off, and the root plate is directly planted in the cultivation soil containing base fertilizers.

Step 2: Cultivate soils on a uniformly pile of the root disc. Note that the distance between the two seedlings is within the range of 30-50cm, so only two can be planted in a 45cm pot.

Step 3: Press the soil around the plant to stabilize it, and then water it until there is excess water flowing out of the small hole in the bottom of the pot.

Step 4: After completing the first three steps, after 30-40 days, the okra will be able to bloom beautiful and cute flowers, and it will become a beautiful landscape on the balcony at home. You can harvest fruits for five or six days, and you can eat the delicious okra that you plant yourself!

Mature treatment

Okra will grow the axillary buds during the growth process of the fruit. It should be cut off with scissors. Even if the axillary buds have fruits, they must be cut off decisively. Only in this way can the gains increase. As the saying goes, “willing to be willing, there is no gesture.”

After starting to harvest the fruit (about 45 days), fertilize twice a month, and the fertilizer should be applied below the front end of the stretched leaves when fertilizing. Be sure to fertilize every month on time. Only in this way can you grow healthy okra.

The results of the okra are real time, and they must be harvested in time, otherwise the pods will gradually harden and affect the taste.
