We had a couples of storms 2 weeks ago. The sticks helped keep it in its place. 2 of my okra plants snapped in half before I decided to put sticks around the rest of them. I don't use any fertilizer. I water every other day. Yes, I did cut off a branch and planted it in the black pot in the background. It took about 3 years to get those roots.
I went to Home Depot today and bought a bag of gravel, a bag of top soil, a big bag of perlite and a bag of orchid mix. I think I will use the same mix I used for the adult plant.
15% soil, 70% perlite, 5% gravel, 10% orchid mix (charcoal & bark).
I also bought miracle-gro water soluble fertilizer 10-30-10. I will use it on the mature plant to see if I will get any blooms.
