Planting Instructions
Soil Preparation
Select sunny, well-drained garden spot or large container. Use loose, moderately fertile soil. Mix in small amount of compost before sowing. Ensure containers have drainage holes if growing in pots.
Seed Pre-treatment
Pick out healthy full seeds. Soak in clean warm water for 4–6 hours to encourage quick sprouting. Drain before sowing. No cold treatment needed.
Sowing Method
Sow after last frost when soil warms above 18°C. Plant 2 seeds per hole, 2 cm deep. Space 10–15 cm apart. For containers, sow 3–4 seeds per large pot and thin later.
Germination Condition
Germinates best at 20–28°C. Seedlings appear in 6–10 days. Keep soil lightly moist. Avoid soggy soil which causes seed decay.
Daily Maintenance
Water regularly but do not overwater. Remove weeds around young plants. Mung beans are self-pollinating and do not need pollinators. Harvest pods as they ripen and dry, or use young pods fresh.
