in soil, i did a experiment on it and some of the multiple beans died in the soil and the others didn't grow as tall or as healthy as the ones in potting soil. i am now planting the potting soil ones in my garden as the others in the dirt are staying on the window.
The best soil is potting soil for a Lima bean growth.
the best soil is loamy
about 6 cups of soil
I think you use soil I am not sure.
The soil should not be overly acidic, salty, or sandy. Add lime to acidic soil and extra compost to sandy soil. Apart from that, most well structured and tilled soils with organic matter incorporated are suitable.
Lima beans need to be planted in moist and warm soil in a spot with lots of sunlight. The lima bean seed germinates and then it develops nodes, stems, leaves, the more nodes will grow. Hope this helps!
A lima bean will grow really tall when it is kept in fertile soil. They also grow tall when they are kept in smaller containers.
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.
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.
brown soil
No, because sunlight can not reach a seed when it is in the soil, but plants still germinate.
Bean plants grow best in well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. This type of soil provides good aeration and water retention, which is important for the healthy growth of bean plants. Heavy clay soils should be amended with organic matter to improve drainage for optimal bean plant growth.
