15 Jan 11 mohan (Australia - temperate climate)
comment: OKRA plants require a free draining soil with pH between 6 and 6.5. potash in required to be fed in fair amounts from December onwards. Red spider mite is a troublesome pest but can be controlled by spraying fine mist of water on the leaves including the undersides. Okra plants do NOT tolerate low temperatures and frost.
