How to grow Quinoa 'Faro'

  • Medium

Keep in mind when planting that Faro is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.0 and 8.5 as Quinoa is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Growing Faro from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Faro

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