Cultivation and harvest tips

• When to sow: wait until the soil is well warmed and all risk of frost has passed; in warm regions, sowing can begin in spring or summer depending on your climate.
• Exposure and soil: full sun and light, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter to promote robust growth.
• Important spacing: allow about 45–60 cm between plants and 75–90 cm between rows to allow the okra to develop without competition.
• Cultivation protocol: regular watering to keep the soil moist without saturating, light mulching to retain moisture and limit weeds.
• Harvest: approximately 50 to 60 days after sowing, pick pods young (about 5–10 cm) for optimal texture and delicate flavor. Frequent harvesting stimulates production.
