1. Planting time: Okra is usually planted in spring. Plants like warm climate. When the temperature exceeds 25℃, seeds are more likely to take root and germinate, so the sowing time is mostly after the final frost. In addition, planting time is different in different regions. Sowing is mostly in February in the south and in mid-May in the north.

2, soaking seeds to accelerate germination: In order to improve the germination rate of okra, it is generally possible to accelerate germination before sowing. Soak its seeds in clean water, take them out after 12 hours, put them in an environment with a temperature of 25-30℃, wait for 24 hours, and the seeds will germinate. When 60-70% of the seeds germinate, they can be planted.

3. Soil preparation and fertilization: planting okra must be carried out in a place with deep soil layer and plenty of sunshine. This plant can't be planted continuously. Don't plant fruits and vegetables before. It is best to choose the land where root vegetables or leafy vegetables have been planted. In winter, deep ploughing should be carried out, decomposed manure and compound fertilizer should be applied to each hectare, and harrow and level the border.

4. Seeding and seedling raising: Under normal circumstances, okra seedlings are raised in March, and the seedbed is prepared with garden soil, organic fertilizer and fine sand. Sow at the row spacing of 10 cm, cover the soil with 2 cm after sowing, and keep the temperature at about 25℃. When its seedlings grow 2-3 real leaves, they can be planted.
