Okra (also known as Okra) belongs to the Vegetables category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Summer onwards.
Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Okra can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Summer and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.
🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.
Okra cannot tolerate any frost whatsoever. Even light ground frost (−1°C) can cause complete plant loss. Only transplant outdoors when night temperatures are consistently above 16°C and no frost is forecast for the next two weeks.
❄️ Late frost risk: In many temperate climates, late spring frosts can occur well into May. Always check the 10-day forecast before planting Okra outdoors.
Okra grows best at daytime temperatures between 25°C and 38°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 16°C.
Okra shows moderate sensitivity to mold. Take precautions during extended rain or very high humidity – good ventilation is important.
Rain sensitivity: Low – Relatively rain-tolerant – good drainage is sufficient.
