A Lima bean plant likes dry climate with moderate water, so if you keep the soil soaking wet the roots will rot. I recommend watering once every day while sprouting and then watering as needed.
You can get 8 to 10 inch pots, put gravel in the bottom and fill with potting soil. Soak your lima bean seeds overnight and plant 1 1/2 inch deep. Once they sprout, put a stake in the pot for the bean plant to climb on. Stagger your plantings so you always have lima beans.
2/3 cups of brown sugar would make your lima beans grow fastest in sunlight
As much to as every other day or every other three days in the beginning.
A lima bean it green and a little flat. A butter bean is also flat, but much larger--often 1.5 inches long. Before cooking, the "butter bean" (as it is known in the Southern U.S. and some other places) is white or creamy colored. After cooking, it is usually a tan to light brown colored. Lima beans usually have a somewhat tart taste, while butter beans are much milder and sweeter.
It won't grow much but it will try to find the light.
Yes. It will loosen the shell on the bean and give the bean life. If you soak them for 3 - 4 days, the red kidney bean will sprout without having to plant it in soil, but if you soak a red kidney bean just overnight and then plant it in soil, the bean will be much more likely to grow by a great deal.
you don't need too much but not to less like a little beaker or a small glass
The life cycle of a lima bean involves a longer growth period, typically taking 60 to 90 days to mature, as it develops from seed to seedling, flowering plant, and finally to seed-producing pods. In contrast, radishes have a much shorter life cycle, often maturing within 20 to 30 days, progressing quickly from seed to seedling and then to harvestable root. Additionally, lima beans grow as climbing plants with significant foliage, while radishes are typically grown for their edible roots and have a more compact growth form. These differences reflect their adaptations to varying environmental conditions and agricultural practices.
