How deep should you plant okra?

Okra seeds should be planted about 1 to 1.5 inches deep in well-drained soil. Ensure the soil temperature is consistently above 65°F for optimal germination. Space the seeds about 12 to 18 inches apart in rows that are 3 feet apart to allow for proper growth and airflow. Water the area gently after planting to help settle the soil around the seeds.
