Germination of okra can be temperamental. Soak seeds for 24 h before sowing, then sow in pots at 25°C, 6 weeks before planting, after the last frosts. Transplant at 30 or 60 cm intervals, in all directions, depending on the size of the variety.
Okra likes to grow in full sun, in deep, rich soil. It benefits from relatively abundant watering!
