Growing: Kothavarangai is an easy-to-grow, drought-resistant, and hardy summer crop that grows best from seeds sown directly into the soil.
Sunlight: These plants require full, direct sunlight for at least 6–8 hours daily to thrive and produce a high yield.
Soil/Fertilizer: They prefer well-draining soil mixed with organic compost or farm manure, and they do not require heavy fertilization because they are nitrogen-fixing plants.
Spacing/Support: Plants should be spaced about 4–6 inches apart in containers (at least 10 inches deep) or 15 cm apart in ground rows.
Maturity: The plants grow quickly and are ready for their first harvest in just 40–50 days after sowing.
Yield: To ensure the best taste and texture, pods should be harvested young while they are tender and green, leading to a high, continuous yield.
Vegetable Plants Available for Pick Up Starting in April.
