How to grow Okra 'Burmese'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Burmese is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.5 as Burmese likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Burmese from seed

Sow 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 11.7 inches (30.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Burmese

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Burmese is a tender plant.
