@Ari Parker actually it depends on the specific seed. For example pomegranate needs to be germinated (left to dry out) and things like tomato and blueberry don't
@@tommycarrizal1656 till I read your comment I thought that’s what it said. I was willing to go with it bc I don’t have a green thumb so I didn’t know if I just didn’t know about some gardening term.
@@brianbrown9700 I live in Arizona where it’s hot and dry. I’m sure u can grow it there if u keep it humid and take indoors during winter. As a potted tree
@@brianbrown9700 I grew one in NC for years b4 moving to a tropical location. I kept it in a pot. When winter came I put it in the room in my home with the most heat and a humidifier. It produced so many delicious starfruit almost all year. Just make sure to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
@@spiderev Just once? We have a tree at our home. And nobody wants to eat starfruit because it's so sour. Eaten by Parrots mostly from the tree. I am from West Bengal, India.
when my I want to sprout a seed I don't usually put it directly in the soil to germinate. I first wet a paper towel and then squeeze out the water so it's damp and then I put the seed on it and fold it up. Place it in Tupperware (plastic box with lid) or a zip lock bag, then wait. After waiting a couple days open the paper towel and look for a tail on the seed. If there is no tail or the tail is very small then repeat the waiting process and after a while you should get a nice long tail and then you can plant and water it. Make sure the tail is facing downward because that is the start of the roots! Good luck! I love your vision! 😁👍❤️
Ooh I love them! Can't ever seem to grow them on purpose tough, haha. It's always been a nice backyard comfort fruit for me, living in a tropical country in South America :)
Hey, I grew starfruit, you may be having problems from things like: 1. Not drying the seed beforehand 2. The humidity levels in your area, starfruit trees don’t vibe in dry climates, they need that humidity! 3. Temperature and weather, they don’t like freezing cold climates that go below freezing point, it loves 70 degree weather though 4. Most starfruit seeds are dormant, so you have better luck growing from a small tree from a local nursery 5. The fauna in your area, namely, the tiny critters such as larvae and flies can easily cause some trouble for your seedling, it’s always recommended to keep watch of your seedling, once it grows over a foot it doesn’t need as much vigilance
I don’t know much about planting but a tip I learned is you want to sprout if before planting by wrapping it in a wet paper towel and cinnamon, lock it in a sip lock bag and leave it somewhere cool and damp. Also try not to drown them
Maybe you should try cleaning the fruit off of the seed next time, the extra sugars make it more likely to grow mold/rot, also try soaking it possibly? Sometimes it can help older seeds grow faster, but I honestly haven’t had much luck with it (I’ve only tried with avo seeds though)
Make sure to let them dry first or planting them won't typically work! It helps to wrap them in a paper towel with some cinnamon. Also starfruit need humidity to sprout!
I started germinating for this season in February. I was starting some calendula for my boss' chickens and a bunch of them never sprouted. So a month later, when I was sowing some broccoli seeds, I used the same peat pucks that didn't sprout the calendula. At this point I have been transplanting and hardening getting everybody ready for their forever homes. Well, 2 of the peat pucks never sprouted calendula or broccoli, until LAST WEEK! One of the 2 pucks that produced nothing (but had 2 broccoli seeds and 2 calendula seeds in it) finally sprouted out TWO calendula!! It has been about 4 months since I sowed those calendula! Never give up on life!!!
Here from Indonesia where almost every house has a starfruit tree! Usually we plant the tree via stem grafting instead of the seed because the seed do take A LOOOOOONG TIME.
Iv tried to find these for years. They are impossible to get where I live. I tried them in kindergarten at school in a program they did where we got to try fruit and vegetables from around the world. I'm an adult now and iv never forgotten it. I loved it so much
I rmbr when I was small my grandmother used to have one of there’s in her garden and my oldest memories were eating pickled star fruit which where sooooo gooood
You may need to pop open the shell and pull the actual seed out wrap in a paper towel (the sprinkle cinnamon on it to create mold from not happening” and then wet the paper towel. When you then transport after it sprouted into the pot cut the bottom of a soda bottle and stick it on top to create a humid atmosphere.
Ok ok, good start but I’ll give you some tips as an honest man with no judgment. First step: let dry for about 12 hours Second: put in zip lock bag with a little bit of moisture like a spray bottle squirt until sprouts Third: plant in small pot and place a plastic bottle over it for humid environment Fourth: let grow until about 5 in” tall and replace pot with bucket or put outside in green house I’ve never grown anything like this but these steps usually works for most other plants also don’t water too much if you do you’ll know, Nats will be coming out of the plant pot soil and make sure it gets plenty of sun light when sprouted
We have one at our yard here in my country the fruits just drop everywhere and little seedlings and a small trees grow by themselves same as the guava in our backyard.
My family is Asian and having starfruit is like getting a birthday cake. It's rare to get because we're in America and it's also tasty. We get excited when we get some.
We have this fruit and other tropical fruits in the Philippines. What we do is we dry the seed before planting it (sun dry). Drying the seed before planting it increases the germination rate. May it be fruit or vegetable.
Try germinating them (place them in paper towels and then in an airtight ziplock for a few days, it will sprout and after about a week, then plant it. Don't drown it with water though.
Put it in a keg and in 7 days you have wine, sell the wine for lots of gold or put the starfruit into a seed maker so you can grow it in your greenhouse year round
Some seeds you have to soak in water for hours before you plant them.. and only germinate in certain environments(and I mean in a plastic bag in the fridge or in a dark warm space not where you live) … simple research will let you know this 🥰
I found some in my store a while ago,I asked my mom if she could buy it so I could try it!I ended up living it and having it with almost every meal since!!
My house used to grow a star fruit tree, i remember my grandma always went outside to pick up the fruit and cut it for us to eat it even when her legs were hurt. Me and my sisters loved to climb that tree
You have to completely dry it out the best way is put it in the sun and then stick it in the freezer make sure it's completely dried out for about 3 months and then plan it
Start veggies in piles of moldy veggie sharing around the base of trees especially. Veggie molds and fungi mycelia provide the veggies with the natural languagings for germination / other possible pathways and facilitate the language skills veggies need to easily coexist and thrive with one another. :)
I put my seed in a pot like you did then I had put a plastic ziplock over the whole pot. It germinated in less than a week. It was also in a warm sunny window. I put it outside a bit later as it started getting big and my mom killed it…
I have two very small trees grown from seeds, but they don't grow, but don't die either. I tried humidity, drought, full shade, full sun, bright indirect light, even tested soil to check ph but all seems fine
Starfruit plants grow anywhere and everywhere. But it's a tropical fruit, so the hot and humid climate is important. Our next door neighbour has a huge star fruit plant and all the fruits fall into our house and now we have so many star fruit plants in our home 🤣 they're like a weed at this point
man this fruit is so nostalgic. i would ofyen get the pink flowers off the tree and would dry it in a book. i still have all of them and i have 269 flowers :)
I used to eat them whenever my family visited my uncle( Dad's friend)' house in India. They would be up on the tree and I used to call my dad or uncle to help me take it down and then I used to eat it while sitting on the big swing. I literally tried to find it in Houston but couldn't. I found it in Delaware but the taste wasn't the same as the one I was used to. I think every India household that I had visited had these trees
We planted tomatoes this year from seed and we had about 5 of the 30 just not do anything for awhile. The 25 were growing for 3 weeks and I stopped watering the 5 with nothing growing. They dried out then a few days later they were 2 inches tall.
If you want to get the seed without cutting it 100% all the time just cut the star fruit a long spines and just peel off that small little piece on each spine cut the ends off and then you eat it like an apple the inside skin that holds the seeds will be completely secure and then you can squeeze the seeds out
My grandparents used to grow these in the Philippines when i was little but they stopped eating it when i was 7 or 8 like it was forgotten, it was really behind my backyard and they abandoned the starfruit farm, there was like 3-4 plants of starfruit (Also never ate a starfruit and i think they stopped eating it when i was borned or more)
