How to grow Tomato 'Orange pixie'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Orange pixie is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Orange pixie likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Growing Orange pixie from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Seeds saved from this hybrid variety are not likely to grow true to the parent plant.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) between Tomato plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Orange pixie about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Orange pixie

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

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

Harvesting Orange pixie

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.
