Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Chinotto is thought of as half hardy, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 4.8 and 8.3 as Chinotto likes to be in moderately acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Chinotto from seed

Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Chinotto

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