How do you grow a lima bean?

Answer 1

A lima bean is a green podded bean like a pea. Planting a dried lima bean in moist soil will create a bush or low climbing plant that will yield thin seed pods. If the pods are picked when mature, and opened (shelled), the nascent beans will be found inside. These can be dried to produce the familiar beans.

To start a seedling, all that is required is moisture. Placing a dried bean on a wet ball of cotton (kept in a wet or moist state) will produce a sprout within a few days. This can be transplanted to soil.

Answer 2

If you take a paper towel and put it into a plastic bag, lightly wet the paper towel that's in the plastic bag. Then remove all the air in the bag after you place the lima bean on the wet paper towel. Then in a couple days it will sprout and then put the sprout into soil another Lima Bean should be grown in about 40 days......... It really works. (you need DRIED LIMA BEANS).

Answer 3

well you should first start your plant in a bag then you should transfer it into a pot after the roots have grown out of the seed inside of the bag then you can water it every day about 1\4 to1\2 cups of water a day
