Your care routine
Watering
Water regularly in hot weather, allowing the soil to drain between waterings.
Soil & drainage
Warm, fertile, freely draining soil in a sheltered full-sun position.
Temperature
Frost-tender crop: start with warmth and move outside only after cold weather has passed.
Planting
Start with warmth and transplant only after the weather is reliably warm. Cold soil severely slows growth.
Harvest
Cut pods young, around 6–8 cm long, before they become fibrous. Check plants frequently.
Through the seasons
Coastal summers may need greenhouse warmth. Wear gloves if stems irritate skin, even with a spineless cultivar.
When your plant needs help
- Check often and pick short tender pods; hot growing conditions are essential even for this spineless type.
Pets & little ones
