Growing Guide

1. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, fertile soil mixed with compost or well-rotted organic manure. A pH range of 6.0–7.0 works best.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds directly into soil or grow bags at a depth of 2–3 cm. No pre-soaking needed, though it can slightly speed up germination.
3. Spacing: Maintain 15–20 cm spacing between plants and 30–40 cm between rows to allow the bushy plant to spread comfortably.
4. Watering: Water every 2–3 days, keeping soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and pod formation.
5. Sunlight: Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy pod production.
6. Thinning: Thin seedlings once they reach 8–10 cm, keeping the strongest plant per spot for a fuller, healthier bush.
7. Fertilizing: Apply a light dose of organic compost every 2–3 weeks; being a legume, this plant fixes some of its own nitrogen.
8. Pest Management: Watch for aphids and pod borers. Use neem oil spray as a natural, safe control method.
9. Harvesting: Ready to harvest in 45–55 days. Pick tender pods while young and crisp, before the beans inside become too prominent.
10. Harvest Tip: Regular picking of young pods encourages the plant to keep producing new pods for several weeks.
