  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Falkor is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Ideally plant in potting mix, loamy and silty soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Falkor likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Falkor from seed

Aim to sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Falkor about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Falkor

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