Ladies Finger

Question

I have sown some seeds in a pot and now I have all the little ones up. My question is do I have to transplant the ladies finger plants in different pots or will it be ok for them to grow in the same pot? The space is enough, or do they require more space? What about the sunlight? How many time do I water the plants – here the temp is around 40+ in Doha.

Answer 1

I have found it easiest to sow 3-4 seed in each 4'' pot to get a head start on the season. They are grown until ready to transplant into the garden, after the soil heats up. Thin (remove) all but the 2 most vigorous plants and plant. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/okra/planting-okra.htm
