Okra is native to India and is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas. The cultivation area in China's Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and other provinces is also extremely large.

Okra likes warmth, is afraid of severe cold, and has strong heat resistance. When the air temperature is 13℃ and the ground temperature is about 15℃, the seeds can germinate. However, the suitable temperature for seed germination and growth is 25-30°C. If the monthly average temperature is lower than 17°C, it will affect flowering and fruiting; if the night temperature is lower than 14°C, the growth will be slow, the plants will be short, the leaves will be narrow, there will be less flowering, and more flowers will fall. The temperature of 26-28℃ is suitable for blooming, high fruit setting rate and fast fruit development.
