Did any of them have any root growth? My ones that didnāt survive, most of them still had roots growing, but they either got pulled out of the water, rotted from leaves falling in, or succumbed to the gulf fritillary. At first the root growth looks like little white nubs coming out of the cut.
I had mine in a two liter cut in half (all in the same one), outside on the porch, afternoon sun (concidence more than on purpose), in water over 1 to 2 nodes. I left the highest leaf (or cluster if small leaves) on the vine, and cut the rest off. Was through Aug/Sept/Oct so 70F+ at all times with probably no less then 40% humidity. Then I essentially completely neglected it, on changing the water when it looked like sludge or when one was drying out.
Nothingā¦
I left mine in my guest bathroom in a soup container of water
Iām wondering if heat is needed.
Like, they didnāt all die, but they were just⦠there. So i gave up and stuck some in soil. They rooted but i was dumb and forgot i did that⦠so thereās thatā¦
How often did you change the water out? That can be a problem. Im going to add a small air stone to the water next time I try in water.
Every other day to every 3 days i made sure the water was good. Might have just been too cold
May have been. There needs to be some warmth for the roots to grow
Just leaving Fiji now, but while I was there I tried various passionfruit they have. Some were quite sweet, but I found a unique tasting one as well. It is a little tangy, but it tastes just like chardonnay wine grapes.
That looks amazing! So envious right now
I assume you kept a few seeds?
Hehehe
Thatās an earthstar, a type of fungus.
Transplanting volunteer passiflora edulis (probably). These are from seeds from a fruit I got a farmers market. They have glossy leaves like my yellow passionfruit. They popped up in my tomato raised bed and need to be moved into the greenhouse before the real cold comes.
I ordered an incense from logees in 2023 and their standard maypop. The incense died. Iām in 7a. Maybe this affected multiple nurseries?
If Iām correct P. āIncenseā is hardy to zone 7b in ideal conditions.
If true, logees is wrong (says 6!) https://www.logees.com/passion-flower-incense-passiflora-hybrid-1971.html
I believe you more than them since mine died
Giant Grandilla (passiflora quadrangularis) from seed. Its about ready to get in the ground with its own trellis. Just waiting for the weather to warm up.
How long did it take for your seedling to grow that large? Looks very nicel
Around 9 months. The seeds took a couple months to sprout, but its grown pretty steadily since then.
