Q&A – Why are there no blooms on my okra?
Question:
Why are there no blooms on my okra? I save seeds from year to year and this is the first year I have had this problem. This year I used seeds from two years ago.
Answer:
There are several possible reasons for this. On okra it takes 50-65 days from planting for blooms to develop. No blooms could be from lack of water or a nutrient imbalance. Okra does not like a lot of nitrogen, and if there is too much nitrogen fertilizer applied it could stimulate new growth of green leaves and not flowers and fruit.
