Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to encourage steady growth and bean production.
Sunlight Needs: Full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily). Red Yard Long Beans thrive in bright, warm conditions and need ample sunlight to produce high yields.
Time to Germinate: 7-14 days.
Seed Soaking: No soaking needed, but soaking seeds overnight can help speed up germination.
Tray/Pot Recommendations: Seeds are best sown directly into the garden or large pots. Ensure the container has good drainage and is at least 30 centimeters deep.
Space Requirements: Space plants 30-45 centimeters apart to allow for proper growth and airflow. Provide trellises or poles for the vines to climb.
Temperature Requirements: Optimal growing temperatures range from 20-30°C.
Best Growing Season: In Thailand, Red Yard Long Beans can be grown year-round but perform best in the cooler months from September to February.
Time to Harvest: 60-75 days from planting. Harvest beans when they reach 30-45 centimeters in length and are tender but firm. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production.
