Pole beans require the same care as bush beans, but need vertical support to climb. Use trellises, open fencing, bean nets, or structures like bamboo teepees, securely anchored to prevent collapse. Sow the seeds in warm soil at a minimum temperature of 16°C (61°F), 2.5 cm (1 inch) deep and spaced 8 cm (3 inches) apart in rows 45-70 cm (18-27 inches) apart. Ensure regular watering, especially during dry periods. Germination takes approximately 8 days.
