• Expected germination time: 7-10 days at 15-22C under suitable conditions*

How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 2–3 cm; sow the seed directly in its final spot.
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 7-10 days at 15-22C.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Keep the soil lightly moist; never miss watering while flowers and pods are forming. Too much water rots the roots.
• Soil: Well-drained loam with compost; pH 6.0-7.5
• Temperature: 10–24°C. Above 28°C pod formation stops.
• Fertiliser: Keep nitrogen low (a legume fixes its own) — give phosphorus and potash.

Sowing season in India

October–November (rabi) is best for North India. Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Powdery mildew late in the season, aphids on new shoots. The crop finishes as soon as the heat arrives.
