Optimum Watering for Lima Beans

Question

What is the optimum watering technique for lima beans? For example, if I grow them in a greenhouse, how much water should I give them (30 seeds in a planter) and how often? Thanks!

Answer 1

For seedlings, you want to keep them moist so you will need to check them daily. It is best to water from below so that they take water up from the bottom of the pot/cell. This helps keep away harmful fungus. It is hard to say the exact amount of water, as this is influenced by many environmental factors such as humidity and temperature of your greenhouse. The best way is to check them once a day and water as needed.
