🪴 How to Grow Sem Phali Pole Type

• 🌿 The direct sowing method is best for Lima beans.

• 🌱 Bush Lima beans are ideal for small spaces and thrive in pots or grow bags (36–60 cm wide & deep).

• 🌞 Grow in warm, bright conditions and water deeply (about 2.5 cm) every week, especially during flowering and pod development.

• 🌡️ For germination, the soil temperature should be at least 18°C.

• 🪜 Bush Lima beans don’t need much support, but tomato cages can help with heavy stems.

🌾 Sem Phali Pole Type Seed Sowing Method

• 🪴 Fill a pot or grow bag with quality sowing medium.

• 🌱 Sow 1–2 seeds per pot at a depth of 2.5–4 cm, spacing them 8–10 cm apart.

• 💧 Water daily until germination.

• 🌞 Keep in a sunny location for best growth.

• ⏳ Seeds germinate in 7–14 days depending on conditions.

🌿 Fertilizing Lima Beans

• 💚 Lima beans enrich the soil with nitrogen, so they don’t need much fertilizer.

• 🌱 Add vermicompost, neem cake, or mustard cake about 25–30 days after planting for healthy pods.

🌟 Care Tips

• 💧 Water: Keep soil moist but not soggy. Water when the top layer feels dry.
