Specifications of Red Okra Seeds
Red okra is cultivated in the gumbos and soups for its long, spotty seed pods. Cotton, hollyhocks and hibiscus are all members of the same family as okra. However, it may survive in any climate conducive to corn growth. The large-flowered, vigorous plants attain a height of 2 to 6 feet, depending on the cultivar. Colorful branches and leaves, provide eye-catching garden borders. This variety of okra is not only expensive because it is not easily available in local areas but it contains more nutrients than green okra.
Okra is a tropical plant used as an annual vegetable. Due to their sticky mucilage, the seed pods are particularly excellent for thickening stews. Okra plants are exceptionally drought and heat tolerant and the vegetable is popular in various countries with challenging growing circumstances. Fresh okra is packed with vitamins and antioxidants and grows best in fertile, well-drained soil that receives direct sunlight. It can be sown directly from seeds or transplanted, but both methods require a lot of space.

Benefits/Uses of Red Okra
Vitamin C, vitamin A, folacin and other B vitamins and magnesium, potassium and calcium are all in red okra. It contains no fat, no saturated fat, no cholesterol and is minimal in calories. Okra is a good source of dietary fiber, including more than five grams every three and a half ounce serving. This vegetable provides an additional source of folate, which is excellent for pregnant women.

Sowing Red Okra Seeds
• Pick a grow bag of your choice that features adequate drainage holes on the bottom.
• Fill the grow bag halfway with the appropriate potting layers and growing medium.
• Two seeds should be sown in the center of a pot.
• Plant two seeds per location in raised beds with a spacing of 2x2 feet.
• With your fingers, gently press the seeds into the soil medium and completely cover them with the surrounding dirt.
• Immediately moisten the sowed seedbed with a light shower from a watering can.
• Okra should be planted about 1/2 to 1 inch thick and 12 to 18 inches apart on healthy, well-drained soil in full sunshine. 
• You can soak the seeds in tepid water overnight to aid with germination.
• In general, okra requires a long warm season to grow successfully; In India Summer (February-April) and rainy (June-August) are the ideal seasons for planting okra.

Growing Red Long Okra  
• Within the first 6-8 days, seeds will germinate and tiny shoots will appear.
• In the second week of germination, the first two leaves will appear. These are cotyledons or fake leaves.
• At the end of the second week, the first leaves will emerge above the cotyledons.
• From the second week on, seedlings will begin to develop into little plants.
• After the second week, just one healthy seedling should be left in one location; weak, small, and trailing seedlings should be removed with a pair of scissors.

Harvesting Red Long Okra    
The Red Long Okra plant will begin flowering in the second month; raw okra pods can be picked after 40-50 days of seed sowing, and the harvesting season will last for the next three months. Pods can be cut from the plant using a sharp knife or snapped from the plant. When plants reach a height of roughly 6'feet, they produce pods that can reach a height of 6"inches. Harvest these pods between 5 and 6 inches in length, as mature pods are harsher and less delicate. They should be collected every few days to encourage pod growth.

Precautions while growing Red Long Okra    
• Eliminate weeds while the plants are still young and then densely mulch to prevent the growth of other weeds.
• Apply a 4- to 8-inch layer of mulch. Additionally, you should apply a side dressing of old manure or rich compost to the plants.
• Additionally, you could use a balanced liquid fertilizer every month.
• When the seedlings reach about 3 inches in height, thin them to a spacing of 10 to 18 inches.
• Maintain adequate irrigation throughout the summer months; 1 inch of water per week is optimal, but more is necessary if you live in a hot, arid environment.
• Remove the lowest leaves following the initial harvest to aid in output.
• Red okra does not appreciate its roots being disturbed.

Common Problems affecting Red Long Okra Plants and Solutions
• Always look for any early signs of any insect/fungal/ any other problems. Use appropriate medicines as soon as any symptoms of such are spotted.
• Silver leaf whitefly, Heliothis, stink bugs, rough bollworm, looper caterpillars and green vegetable bugs are just a few of the numerous insect pests that can target Red Okra plants. Aphids and mites are also known to attack Red Okra crops. Aphids may be coated with soap spray or washed away with a constant stream of water. Stink bugs are more challenging to eradicate. These can be hand-selected and disposed off. It is recommended that biopesticides be used. Without picking the pods/fruits on time and allowing them to mature on the vine, flowering and subsequent development would be reduced. Branch thinning or branch removal may be required to keep the plant from growing too densely.
• Leaf spot is a fungal. Crop rotation is essential. Maintain a garden devoid of plant waste. Every 7 to 10 days, apply Trichoderma Viride Bio Fertilizer or Pseudomonas Fluorescens Bio Fertilizer. Soil should be well-drained.
• Inadequate light, water stress and an excess of nitrogen all contribute to pod formation inhibition. Plant in full sun, in compost-rich soil and maintain an even moisture level in the soil.
• Anthracnose is a fungal infection that thrives in conditions of high humidity and rainfall. Leaves can succumb to the elements and fall. The plant can wither. Plants that are contaminated should be removed and discarded. Avoid gardening in the rain, as this can result in the spread of spores.
