How to grow winged beans at home
Step 1 Sow seeds
Before sowing seeds, you need to put soil in small pots with a diameter of about 20 – 25 cm. In order for the seeds to germinate, you need to soak them in warm water. Then incubate the seeds in a damp towel for about 12 hours. Enough time to check and if the seeds crack, they can be planted. Sow about 5-6 seeds in a pot, remember to bury the seeds about 1cm deep, then cover with soil and water the pot. In about 4 – 5 days the seeds will germinate.
Step 2 Remove stunted trees
About 7 – 10 days later, the seeds have germinated into seedlings with a height of about 5 – 10 cm. It is necessary to remove stunted trees and keep about 1-2 trees for planting. This helps the retained trees have enough nutrients to grow well.
Step 3 Set up a winged bean trellis
When the plant is about 20 – 25 cm tall, you can set up a trellis and move the plant to the garden so that the winged beans can climb up the trellis or you can let the winged beans climb up the wall. Before planting the plants in the soil, fertilize with a little rotted manure. Once the tree is planted in the ground, remember to water it so it can quickly take root in the soil. After a few days, the plant will develop tendrils to cling to the trellis.
How to care for dragon bean plants
Water and fertilize the winged bean plants fully
After you have just extracted the plant into the soil, you should water it twice a day in the morning and afternoon. About the next week, when the winged bean plant has clung to about half of the trellis, it will need to be fertilized with more fertilizer. You can use composted manure or earthworm compost mixed with water to irrigate plants from leaves to roots. The most appropriate time to fertilize is every 15 days, until the tree bears fruit, then stop. After about 50 days, the winged bean plant has climbed very high on the trellis. To create favorable conditions for the tree to bear fruit, you should prune the branches if the tree has too many dense leaves.
Results: Only about a week after the fruit appears, you can harvest winged beans. When harvested, winged beans have an average size of about 15-20 cm.
