Okra MI 5 Seeds
Okra, locally known as බණ්ඩක්කා, is a highly nutritious and fast-growing vegetable widely used in Sri Lankan cuisine. The Okra MI 5 variety is known for its high yield, tender pods, and resistance to common diseases. Rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, okra is perfect for curries, stir-fries, and even deep-fried dishes.
How to Grow Okra:
- Prepare the Soil – Use well-draining, fertile soil with good organic matter.
- Sow the Seeds – Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart.
- Water Regularly – Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination.
- Provide Sunlight & Care – Okra thrives in full sun; occasional fertilization will boost growth.
- Harvesting – Pick young, tender pods for the best flavor before they become fibrous.

Okra MI 5 starts producing within 45-55 days after planting. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production.
