Plantation : Plant them directly in the soil or containers. Place stakes 2.5 m to 3 m long at 1 m distance. Sow five to eight seeds to leave only four plants for each stake. The date of sowing varies depending on the region. The temperature of the soil should be at least 15 °C if you do not want your beans to rot and become stringy.

Soil : It prefers a light, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic, but not less than 5.5. Beans have high nutritional requirements for phosphorus and potassium, while they are low for nitrogen.

Spacing : The rows are spaced 50 cm to 70 cm apart, with a space of 20 cm between the plants.

Cultural practices : Plant repetitively every two weeks from May to the end of July, in order to have a continuous harvest.

Harvest : It is advisable to pick the green beans preferably in the morning and every fourth day. The pod must be about 17 cm to be harvested. Be careful, if you wait too long, your bean will make too many threads (cut one in half to check its appearance). Harvesting can take about three weeks. Once your harvest is done, cut off the base of the bean.
