Water Needs: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. French Beans require consistent watering, particularly during flowering and pod development. Allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings.
Sunlight Needs: Full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily).
Time to Germinate: 7-14 days.
Seed Soaking: Soak seeds overnight before planting to improve germination rates.
Tray/Pot Recommendations: Start seeds in seed trays or directly in the garden. If starting indoors, use pots with good drainage. French Beans grow well in the garden or larger containers once seedlings are established.
Space Requirements: Space plants 20-30 centimeters apart to allow for proper growth. Provide support if growing climbing varieties.
Temperature Requirements: Optimal growing temperatures range from 18-30°C.
Best Growing Season: It is best to grow French Beans in the cooler months in Thailand, such as September to February.
Time to Harvest: 50-70 days from planting. Harvest pods when they are young and tender for the best flavor and texture.
