Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Gallo plum is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Gallo plum needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Gallo plum from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Aim to sow 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

Transplanting Gallo plum

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

Gallo plum is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
