French Beans Plant Care:
- Germination Time – 7-10 days
- Sunlight – Full sunlight (at least 6-8 hours per day) for optimum growth.
- Watering – Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is crucial, especially during flowering and pod formation. Avoid over-watering, as it can lead to root rot.
- Fertilization – Apply compost or well-rotted manure for enriching the soil. Use a balanced fertilizer once a month to keep the plants healthy.
- Weeding – Keep the garden bed free from weeds to avoid competition for nutrients and water. Mulching can help keep weeds at bay.
- Pest Control – French beans may attract pests such as aphids and caterpillars. Use neem oil or organic insecticidal soap to prevent and control pests naturally.
- Training the Plants – French beans can be grown as bush varieties, so they typically do not need support. However, growing them vertically on a trellis can help save space and improve air circulation.
- Harvesting – Harvest French beans when they are tender and green, typically around 50-60 days after planting. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more pods.
