We appreciate that you appreciate our advice. Please understand that, from a distance like this, we don’t have all the answers. Every situation is unique. Hearing that you had success with okra in the ground, with soil amended as you say, suggests that maybe you should have done the same—used the same soil—in the pots. If you have seeds, that may be an option.
Going back to your original problem, the okra are stunted and the leaves are turning yellow. We suggested that you might have fusarium root or stem rot. Here we are a few days later … still the same? You might be better off starting all over. We can’t comment on the soil you bought as good for this purpose (maybe the vendor can). If this was me/us, and we had a couple/few seeds remaining, we would start over, using soil that has proven successful—the mix that you used in the ground-growing plants.
Clearlly you know what you’re doing, if you had success; the aim is to repeat it … so do the same thing.
We really hope this helps. Gardening is somewhat trial and error, no matter what the gardener’s experience level (that includes me/us).
