Foot-Long Sigarilyas (Winged Bean) Seeds - Hybrid Variety

Growing Sigarilyas (Winged Bean) in the Philippines

Sigarilyas, also known as Winged Bean, is a fantastic addition to your garden in the Philippines. This unique plant is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Let's propagate it from seeds together! ‍

Step 1: Choose Quality Seeds Start with fresh, high-quality sigarilyas seeds. Select a foot-long variety or the hybrid type for the best results.

Step 2: Prepare the Seeds Soak the seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting. This softens the seed coat, aiding germination.

Step 3: Soil Preparation ️ Choose a well-draining soil with a pH level around 6.0-6.8. Sigarilyas thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil.

Step 6: Support As the plants grow, provide them with a trellis or support system, especially if you're growing a foot-long variety. This ensures they can climb and thrive.

Step 7: Fertilization Use organic fertilizers rich in potassium and phosphorus. These nutrients encourage flowering and fruiting.

Step 8: Pruning ️ Sigarilyas can become quite bushy. Prune back excess foliage to encourage better air circulation and access to sunlight.

Step 9: Harvest Your sigarilyas should be ready for harvest in about 60-90 days. Pick the pods while they're still young and tender.
