Seed Germination and Seedling Growth
The life cycle of lady finger (okra) begins with the planting of seeds in well-drained soil. With adequate warmth and moisture, the seeds germinate, and small seedlings emerge from the ground, developing their first true leaves.
Flowering
As the lady finger plant matures, it begins to produce beautiful, often yellow or cream-colored flowers. These flowers are typically short-lived, blooming for only a day before wilting. Pollination, often by insects, is crucial for the development of the pods.
Pod Formation and Growth
Following successful pollination, the flowers give way to the development of the characteristic lady finger pods. These pods rapidly grow in size, becoming elongated and tender. This is the stage where the vegetable is typically harvested for consumption.
