Lighting: Okra prefers full sun for optimal growth. It needs at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce high-quality pods.
Watering: Okra requires regular watering, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. It is important to ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging, which could lead to root diseases.
Pests: Okra can be susceptible to pests such as aphids, spider mites and corn earworms. The use of organic products such as potassium soap or neem oil is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Okra is a cold-sensitive plant and should be planted after the risk of frost has passed. It prefers warm climates and thrives in temperatures between 24°C and 32°C.
Substrate: A well-drained, organic-rich substrate is recommended for optimal growth. Loose, airy soil is ideal to allow the okra roots to fully develop.
Harvest: Okra is harvested when the pods reach a size of 7 to 10 cm, before they become too hard. It is important to harvest regularly to encourage continued pod production.
