Pumpkin 'Kakai'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Kakai is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.5 and 7.0 as Kakai likes to be in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 4.94 feet (1.52 metres) and sow at a depth of around 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Kakai about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Kakai is a hardy plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early autumn.
