The breeding mode of okra is relatively single, only sowing seeds. Cuttings, grafting and other methods are rarely used for reproduction mainly because of the relatively low survival rate. Not only can you sow seeds on a large scale, but you can also use potted plants at home, which is easier to operate.
Two, sowing time
The okra is millet, can only be sown in the spring. This is not only because the spring temperature is suitable for the growth of the plant, but also because it needs a long growth cycle. If the plants are sown in other seasons, the plants may experience cold temperatures which can be very detrimental to their development. This is usually in February in the south and in May in the north.
Three, soak the seeds to promote germination
Before okra is sown, it is necessary to accelerate germination by soaking the seeds. Soak their seeds in water for more than 12 hours, remove them and wrap them in a wet cloth, and then place them in an environment of 25-30. Germination usually occurs in 24 hours. And you don't have to wait until all the seeds have germinated before sowing, as long as 60-70% of the seeds show signs of germination, you can sow the seeds.
Four, the whole land fertilization
Planting okra soil must be leveled first, then deep plowing, and then apply enough basal fertilizer. General rotting organic fertilizer with a small amount of compound fertilizer use, you can add more comprehensive nutrition. After fertilizing the soil should be used to make a border, ready for sowing.
Five, for sowing
Okra is usually hole sowing, each hole to sow three. First pour a little water, then sow the seeds inside, cover 2 centimeters of soil. Keeping the soil moist after sowing is more conducive to seedling growth. When it grows to the leaves, it should be properly fertilized.
