A detailed introduction to the cultivation of okra

1. Okra is an annual seedling, the florescence is from June to October, and the flowering period of more than two years is from July to October. Capsule. There are 60 seeds per fruit, the seeds are round and brown, the seed coat is easy to expand and crack, and the diameter is 0.2 cm.

two。 Okra was sown in the open field in the first ten days of April, and sprouted in 5 days after sowing under the condition of 20 ℃. Ten days later, it was transplanted and planted in the flat bed. It blossomed in the first and middle June of that year and flowered until the first ten days of November.

3. After each flowering, the empty branches and seeds formed after the last flowering should be pruned in time, so as to increase the flower quantity of the next flowering peak, especially after the second peak, it should be pruned in time to ensure the quantity and quality of the next flower. If it is allowed to grow naturally, the amount of flowers in the later stage will be reduced accordingly.

4. Okra annual seedlings can survive the winter safely under the condition of extensive management. More than 2-year-old plants, because the root growth has been more developed, there is no longer the phenomenon of freezing injury when overwintering. There are more sprouts in more than 3 years, and those planted with a row spacing of 60 cm should be divided. Otherwise, the branches and leaves are too dense, flowering is reduced, and it is easy to lodge in case of wind and rain.

Large okra is sunny, it is not afraid of high temperature exposure, so we try to put it on the balcony or sunny place when planting okra, which will make okra grow more brightly.

Planting methods and Water and Fertilizer Management of okra

Okra can be planted in early spring or late autumn. Fermented horse manure and chicken manure can be used as base fertilizer to mix it well with the soil. Don't plant too deep in spring, but vice versa in autumn. Water immediately after planting in spring, the second time in five days, the third time in a week, and once a month thereafter. But the amount of water should not be too much at one time, it is suitable.

Pruning

The Bai ran crown of okra is relatively loose and needs to be trimmed according to the situation of the planting area. There are three aspects that need to be fully considered: the first is to pay attention not to affect pedestrians, the second is to cut short the long branches and modify the flower pattern, and the third is to build excess branches in time to prevent nutrient deficiency.

Okra has very low requirements for the environment, but it should be carefully repaired when it is cultivated. When we cultivate it, we can choose the methods of sowing, cutting or ramet, which can be fed successfully.

The planting method of okra 1. Seed sowing treatment

Hibiscus sunflower, mostly choose to sow and reproduce with seeds. We can buy seeds online, soak the seeds in clean water for 4-6 hours, then sow them shallowly in the seedling box, basically take root and sprout in about a week, wait for the seedlings to grow 2-3 pairs of true leaves, and then transplant them. Do not be too dense when planting. If you choose a 2-gallon flowerpot, you can plant about 3, if the planting is too dense. Will affect the plant growth, sowing time can choose autumn sowing or spring sowing.

two。 Soil selective planting

Hibiscus sunflower can grow well in most soils, but it prefers slightly acidic soil rich in humus, so when we plant on the ground, we can use the following soil configuration: peat soil, rotten leaf soil, perlite according to 1:1:1, put into the pit where hibiscus sunflower will be planted, so that hibiscus sunflower will slow down and grow very fast.

3. Light and temperature control

Okra likes light, so make sure it has plenty of sunlight and needs to be exposed for a long time, so its flowers are more natural in midsummer because they receive enough light. It does not require high temperature, high temperature and low temperature can grow, but it should be noted that the too low temperature in the north needs to protect okra, which can be covered with a layer of straw in the soil. Next year, you will see it bloom a lot of beautiful flowers.

Understand the specific planting methods, but also enjoy a lot of beautiful pictures of okra, from the picture, the flower is very large, so how much is its diameter? Let's study with the editor.
