99 okra seeds grew into plants.

Explanation:

Let's start by making a proportion as shown below:

#"14 okra seeds"/"9 grew into plants"# = #"154 okra seeds"/"x grew into plants"#

So to solve for x, we can cross multiply as shown below:

#9*154=1386#
#1386/14=99#

So 99 okra seeds grew into plants.
