Kacang Botol (also known as the winged bean, goa bean, or Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) is a nutritious tropical legume easily recognized by the four wing-like, frilly protrusions running down the length of its pod. Native to Southeast Asia and Papua New Guinea, it is a versatile, nutrient-rich staple popular across Malaysian and regional cuisines.

Light: Thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct light daily).

Climate: Highly adaptable to tropical Malaysian weather, but it requires plenty of moisture.

Soil: Use loose, fertile, and well-draining soil. Add cocopeat or perlite to prevent waterlogging, as the roots can easily rot.

Watering: Water early in the morning. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings, but never let the plant dry out completely.
