My Okra plants are bearing good fruits, but, no leaves at all. The leaves come and get a white patch, after which they become dark colored and shed. Suspecting some fungi. Any idea? thanks in advance.

Hi Razak, Did anyone reply to you regarding the Okra? I have the same question. My plants are quite tall and they flower well. Got only six Okras from four plants. Do I leave it for next year or pull it out?

Our okra gets lots of sun planted in late dec. Growing massively well but no fruits after flowering. My partner insists on leaving them for next season I believe they will not produce any longer after a few months. Please help us settle this dispute!

Hi Razak Did you use seeds or plants? Tyr to get good seeds. Try to get a good dried long okra for seeds...from the vegi grower..... Best time to plant soaked seeds straight on vegi patch is around early December and will grow well in summer.....potty mix is sufficient ..home made compost is also good. Good luck!

I had the same problem. Ants are actually helping those pests to live happily on that plant. If you found some ladybirds, transfer them to your okra plant. A few week later you will see this pests gone from the aid of these ladybirds.

Lemon essential oil is available at a lot of chemists. Put droplets of it around your patch (not in it- around it) every two weeks or after it rains to deter aunts. Alternatively you can put out lemon peels.
