                        Climate & Soil 
                        Amaranth grows well in both hot humid and hot dry climates. The plant prefers temperatures
                        between 25 and 30°C. Amaranth is photosensitive and most species will flower
                        when day lengths are shorter than 12 hours. Amaranth grows best in a loam or silty
                        loam soil with good water holding capacity, but it can grow on a wide range of soil
                        types and soil moisture levels. Some species are tolerant to drought. It can
                        tolerate a soil pH from 4.5 to 8.0.
