Feet Long Okra Seeds – Extra Long Bhindi Variety for High Yield

Feet long okra, also known as yard-long bhindi, is a unique variety that produces exceptionally long pods reaching up to one foot in length. Despite its size, the pods remain tender and are excellent for cooking. This variety is well-suited for Indian climates and can be grown during summer, monsoon, and early winter seasons.

Sow the seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost. Choose a location with full sunlight. Soak the seeds in water for 6 to 8 hours before sowing to ensure better germination. Sow the seeds one inch deep with 12 to 15 inches spacing between plants. Germination typically occurs in 5 to 8 days.

Water the plants regularly, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages. Apply compost or organic fertilizer every 15 to 20 days to support healthy growth. Flowering begins in 40 to 50 days, and the extra-long pods can be harvested from 55 to 65 days after sowing. Harvest when the pods are fully grown but still tender for best texture and taste.

Feet long okra is ideal for terrace gardens, open plots, and large containers. With proper support and care, it offers a high yield and impressive visual appeal across all regions in India.
