- Species and varieties: Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a flowering plant known for its edible green seed pods. The red and green varieties of okra are popular among gardeners and farmers. The green okra is the most common type, while the red okra, also known as 'Burgundy' okra, is a unique variety that turns green when cooked.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Both hybrid and heirloom varieties of red and green okra are available. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, while hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as disease resistance and higher yields.
- Pruning and training: Okra plants do not require extensive pruning. However, removing the lower leaves can improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. Regularly harvesting the pods encourages continuous production.
- Fertilization needs: Okra benefits from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again when the plants start to produce pods. A 10-10-10 (N-P-K) fertilizer is suitable. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of pod production.
- Hardiness zones: Okra is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 8-11. It thrives in warm climates and can be grown as an annual in cooler zones.
- Climate requirements: Okra requires a warm climate with temperatures between 75-95°F (24-35°C). It needs full sun and well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Okra is drought-tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture.
