Title: Okra - Yellow leaves
Post by: LilacSandy on May 21, 2011, 13:41

Hi all,

I have never grown Okra before but the seedlings I have just pricked out are now bright yellow.  Is this normal, other than this they look quite healthy.

mine are yellow as well, few are green leavies. googled it, found it's because over-watering during sowing.

okra likes warm, full sun and less water, it handles drought well.
