Red Okra is a very easy-to-grow plant that is rich in vitamin A and low in calories. Red Okra is called bhindi in Hindi. It is not only a great addition to your diet but also looks lovely throughout the growing season due to its beautiful flowers.
Red Okra prefers full sun, so choose a sunny spot to plant Okra seeds. Plant the seeds about ½ to 1 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart in a row. Keep the plants well-watered throughout the growing period. The first harvest will be ready after 45-50 days of planting the seeds, harvest the Red Okra (Lal bhindi) when it is about 2 to 3 inches tall. Pick fresh Red Okra and enjoy them raw, pickled, or stir-fried.
Planting Tips
1.Use Seedling trays and cocopeat for better germination rate.
2.Plant in a sunny location. Vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The more sunlight they receive, the greater the harvest and the better the taste.
3.Plant in good soil. Plants’ roots penetrate soft soil easily, so you need nice loamy soil. Enriching your soil with compost provides needed nutrients. Proper drainage will ensure that water neither collects on top nor drains away too quickly.
4.Space your crops properly. Plants set too close together compete for sunlight, water, and nutrition and fail to mature. Pay attention to the spacing guidance with plant tabs.
