How many years can potted okra live? How to plant potted okra?

First, how many years can you live? Okra is an annual plant with a life span of less than one year. Moreover, plants are very afraid of cold, and the growth below 17℃ will slow down, and the continuous low temperature may cause frostbite. Generally speaking, it takes 50-55 days from sowing to flowering, and about 120 days from flowering to harvest, so the harvest is basically completed in about half a year.

Second, the planting method 1. Prepare pot soil: Before planting okra, you need to prepare flowerpots and pot soil. Pots are generally made of pottery, with good air permeability and moderate size. Potted soil is mostly sandy loam with soft soil. If not, you can also make it yourself and mix it with round soil and coarse sand. The proportion of sand should not be too large. In order to make it grow rapidly, an appropriate amount of base fertilizer can be added.

2, soaking seeds to accelerate germination: In order to make okra grow better, you can soak seeds to accelerate germination first. Soak the seeds in water, take them out after 12 hours, wrap them with wet cloth, and put them in an environment at 25-30℃ to make them germinate quickly. When the germination rate exceeds 60%, it can be planted.

3. Sowing: Spread some broken tiles on the bottom of the flowerpot, or use large granular matrix to increase its drainage. After that, it can be filled with soil, generally about 80%. Dig a small pit in the middle of the pot soil, plant seeds in it, or plant a few more seeds and cover it with a layer of 2 cm thick soil.

4. Follow-up maintenance: After sowing, appropriate amount of water should be poured to keep the soil moist. After the seedlings grow, they should be thinned according to the growth situation, the weak seedlings should be removed, and the strong seedlings should be kept. During its growing period, it should be fertilized regularly to provide it with nutrients and ensure that it can receive sufficient light.
