Passiflora mollissima

Latest lockdown indulgence! 🍌 14/5/2020

I have had no success in germinating any passion fruit. Do you have any advice?

I grew some other ones 2 months ago. They can be tricky. I let the seeds soak in water for 24 hours & then had them germinate in a heated propogator at about 25C constantly for 2 to 3 weeks. I am doing the same with these and keeping fingers crossed! @kaigia

Thanks Cyndi. I'm going to try 3 tomorrow after a good soak (the seeds that is!) ☺ @cyndi

Oh that’s going to be a beauty 😍😍 enjoy and good luck 🍀

Wow!! Lucky you @jeatacake . Dont even know the variety I planted,but this also would be an awesome addition. Where do people get exotic plant seed these days?

Thanks Rula. I'm not sure how well they'll do here, but I'll take a few seeds to Thailand this coming winter (provided that I can go), as they should grow well there 🤞 @sabbanrula

Thanks Busayomi. I got these on Ebay from a search there for "passiflora mollissima". The seller is "tropical-plants-and-seeds" & they cost £3.75 UK pounds with free P & P @buzzygems

I guess the one(s) you plant in the UK will spend most of the time in the greenhouse but I hope you get to travel next winter and saw a few other exotic plants in that garden as well 😄

Thanks Rula. I'll start 3 off tomorrow & take say 3 with me depending on germination rates & of course being able to go, but yes, I have plans for many exotic species there which would never thrive here. I'll try to ignore scare stories about a big second waves of covid19 later in the year 🙉 @sabbanrula

Some websites say this can do well in the UK. I'm a bit sceptical & think what you say is far more likely in that it'll have to spend most of its time in the greenhouse! @sabbanrula
