Not convinced you need two plants for fruit since my one plant produces lots of fruit. Bumblebees have co-evolved with Passiflora incarnata and cover the flowers. No neighbors near me grow this plant and have not seen it growing wild. Ordered one rooted cutting online and it established the following year. Growing in zone 7a North Carolina.
I live in San Diego and have Arabaca trees thriving in my canyon. I will be happy to send some cherries if that is what will be the best to start new trees.
I live in Colorado and do a lot of work with herbal/plant medicine on a 1:1 caregiver level. I also extract and formulate.... I want to start growing blue lotus and work with it and it's extracts. What's the possibility of procuring from you since you've done the work and are confident this is the correct strain?
I live in Santa Cruz, the tropical region of Bolivia, and I have been growing Nymphaeas for several years. According to the description, it is possible that the specimen I have corresponds to Nymphaea caerulea. The first year I obtained great development and little vegetative reproduction. This last year, many seedlings appeared but very little development.
I truly appreciate the detail level of this video, and the carefulness of the info. I have successfully grown 20 or so coffee trees here in Canada (ontario) and have kept three trees (the others I gave away) and brought them to seed. I am now planting the second generation of seeds. I did post a small seed germination video ages ago for the first generation of seedlings, and am now putting together the second generation video to post this week. I have to say that getting the plant from planted seed to seedling was 4-6 or so months, and then from seedling to seed producing tree was 4-5 years, and then from flowering to seed starting was a month, and then from seed starting to seed ripe was 7-8 months. I saw the seeds starting in August of last summer (2023) and just now in April picked them as they finally ripened. This slowness could be caused by less than ideal growing situations as I am in Canada. However, if this is close to the average length of time I can see why coffee can be expensive. This is not quick or easy. Thank you again for your detailed video.
My seedlings took at least 6 mths to grow plant. Glad to hear at least 2 plants to fruit. It was the purple fruit that I bought from store. Tell me if my plants will fruit, please?? Thank you 🙏
I watched this (great and nerdy!) video but decided to not use dried beans afterwards. Instead I ordered (fresh) liberica beans from a vendor in portugal and also harvested some arabica beans from my local botanical garden in germany. I planted all of the seeds using some of the different methods described in this video. I waited about two month during which I did nothing but keeping the earth wet. Then we had two very hot weeks here with around 35 degrees: Nearly all of the beans germinated in this time, regardless of the seeding method I used :D
It would be nice to know with the camellia sinensis seeds which vendor you went with. I’ve been searching myself and it’s surprisingly difficult to find a trusted vendor.
I had very good results germinating wild seeds. I stored the seeds in a box after eating the wild fruit (in october) until early March. I soaked them in a cup of water over night. I planted them in a bunch of cells and made sure the soil in the cells stayed moist. It took more than a month for them to germinate, but when they did ALL of them did. I had like 90 plants late april/early may. Had to give most of them away. The ones I planted have completely covered my trellis. I've had many flowers and I just got my first ripe fruit. (Very late september) The first fruit didn't have great flavor, but the second one (which was spherical shaped) tasted great! Hoping I get a lot more fruit off it before winter. There seem to be about a hundred fruits but they are raking their time ripening.
I have a plant, got berries cleaned them of the fruit and the slimey stuff with water, dried in the sun. planted into potting soil, kept wet for a week then only watered every 3rd or 4th day. kept outside took about 3 months but had about 70-80% success rate. they are so slow to grwo, I wish there was a way to speed up growth. I am wondering about hydroponics for that job...hmm
Where did you get the tea seeds? I've tried most comercial seed sources with zero results. I once got one to germ that I pocketed at an estate in Darjeeling, but it didnt make it out of its shell.
I smuggled about 20 Colombian coffee beans, which I picked straight from the plant, back to England and I currently have 100% with radicle and one that has leafed beyond cotyledon. I have no idea how I will keep them alive this winter though 😅
I plant my coffee seeds in compost in plastic cups. I soak the cups in water and then place them in a transparent plastic bag. I then stick it in the sun and then 3 months later I have plants. I have a nearly 100%success rate. I do use extremely fresh seed. This probably has a lot to do with the high germination rate.
hahahahaha "is anyone still watching" Thank you for the info! I just started working with Lilly and Lotus plants and I cant find the real Nymphaea caerulea anywhere.... Is it possible to buy from you? I live in sweden
Has anyone got an answer to what the third lily is as that’s what I’ve been consuming and I can’t lie I’m really concerned as it’s not what they promised. And even so I still got a strong high off it
Have you sourced a reputable vendor for Nymphaea Cearulea yet? May I message you personally? I'm very excited to find someone who's gone through the same problems I'm running into now. I'm so surprised that the scientific community or even the citizen scientific community are running into so many problems with the taxonomy of some of these plants. Especially such a famous one. I'm curious if you've had any success with breeding. Are they A-sexual? because ordering one wouldn't have allowed you to produce seeds would they? Reach out to me if you'd be so kind.
