100.00

Quantity: 20 seeds The purple winged bean, a unique variant of the traditional winged bean, is cultivated in tropical regions including India. Planting Seed Preparation: Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination rates. Planting Time: The best time to plant purple winged beans is in the early monsoon season or during the onset of the rainy season. Planting Depth: Sow the seeds about 1-2 inches deep in the soil. Spacing: Space the seeds about 6-8 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart to allow ample space for the vines to grow. Growing and Maintenance Support Structures: As climbing plants, purple winged beans require support. Install trellises, poles, or fences for the vines to climb, which will help maximize space and improve air circulation. Fertilization: Although winged beans are good at fixing nitrogen in the soil, adding compost or organic fertilizer at the planting stage can promote healthy growth. Supplement with a balanced fertilizer if needed during the growing season. Pruning: Regularly prune the plants to encourage bushier growth and improve air circulation. Remove any dead or diseased leaves and stems.
