  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Orangetti is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Orangetti requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.6 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Orangetti from seed

Ensure a distance of 1.46 feet (45.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Orangetti about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Orangetti

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