2. Consistent Watering: Ensure the soil remains consistently moist, especially during the flowering and pod-setting stages. Deep watering is preferred to promote healthy root development.
3. Fertilization: Beans are nitrogen-fixing plants, but they still benefit from a light application of balanced fertilizer at planting. Avoid over-fertilizing with high nitrogen.
4. Support for Growth: Orient beans are bush variety beans and do not require trellising, but they do need plenty of space for optimal growth.
5. Harvesting: Harvest beans when the pods are bright green and the beans inside are fully formed but still tender. Regular harvesting encourages more production.
