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

Growing Marconi 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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

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

Transplanting Marconi

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