Growing Chayote the easier way - Low Effort Sayote My earlier method: https://youtu.be/4Rq4Wmq2-C4 How succesful is it? https://youtu.be/E1fS14z6Wxw Alternative Low Effort Growing Site. Plant chayote in full sun; chayote will grow in partial shade but the yield will be reduced. Grow chayote in loose, well-drained but moisture-retentive soil rich in organic matter. Chayote prefers a soil pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Planting time. Plant chayote 3 to 4 weeks after the last average frost date in spring when the soil temperature has reached at least 65°F (18°C). Chayote grows best where summer temperatures are warm to hot, in tropical or subtropical regions such as Florida, the Gulf Coast, and California. Chayote requires 120 to 150 frost-free warm days to reach harvest. In short-summer regions, grow chayote in a container so that it can be brought indoors when the temperatures cool. Companion plants. Pumpkin, peppers, squash, corn. Do not grow chayote with celery, mint, or snap beans. Container growing. Chayote can be grown in a container, but the yield will not be significant. Grow chayote in a container about 24 inches deep. Chayote is a vigorous climber and a trellis or support should be set in the container at planting time.
