How To Grow & Harvest Roselle + GIVEAWAY! 

During Christmas in our hometown in Honduras, a drink was made from Sorrele...we called it Vino de Jamaica (jamaican wine).

This plant is called gongura in telugu(which is an Indian language).The leaves of gogura are used to make gongura curry and pickles.It used just like how people use spinach in basic cooking

I’m glad you showed it can grow in a container

All hibiscus plants I know can be grown from cuttings. It can also grow in water. I really love hibiscus tea and young leaves on sour soups.

Thanks for a really good video. I just purchased some roselle seeds and I know it's late Spring but I am going to plant them anyway and see what happens. I live in Northern California - so Iihht just get a small harvest, and then will see if I can over-winter the pla t for an earlier harvest next year. So much fun to plan.

I like Rosella flowers because of their properties that make me sleep faster, but if I consume them too much, what happens to me is difficulty concentrating, so I drink Rosella flower tea only at nighttime sleep :) Sorry my English is not good because I'm still learning hehe. I am currently still learning how to cultivate these flowers, the condition of the flowers is still growing in the nursery, I plan to plant them in the yard of my house for my evening stock 😁 Thank you, I'm an ordinary person from Indonesia and I like organic farming 🌱

Have these growing right now. The kind I have is a deep burgundy. And it is in all the Caribbean, not just Jamaica. There is even a sorrel with white flowers and pods.

Thanks for sharing you're right about how fast Roselle grows started mine in same as your five gallon and there huge now. I would love a grow light to start up my veg seedling this spring we have such a long winter in Utah

In zone 9 have started some papayas from seeds in a small green house. Worried that the 40's might kill them. Also, have some neem, moringa's and rainbow eucalyptus seeds I think would benefit from the grow light. Would use it to start Japanese mustard and onions from seeds and try my hand at some micro greens. Thank you!.

A light to help grow seedlings indoors until Spring warmth arrives. Gets kinda chilly here in NorCal winters. Thanks!

We start them from seeds in Feb. By April, we stress the plants by not giving them water to the point of death. After 2 weeks of recoup, you will start to see small buds. Transplant after frost and you will be harvesting roselle throughout the summer until your next frost date. Hudson valley Zone 6b

So great that I found this video today out of all days ☺️ after finding out that a plant that I received a week ago I just found out it was a Roselle. This is by far my favorite flower, thank you so much and you now have a new subscriber

I've seen this this grow light used in several videos. It looks like it works well and looks good too! I have so many seeds & so many squirrels. This would be a huge help in getting things a little more established before the squirrels can get to them. I'd have much more in the ground.😊 I just got seeds for the roselle & am excited to plant after winter!

I understand they grow well from cuttings. Maybe give it a try. 😊

I would live to use this grow light to get my seeding started for my spring garden!💚💚💚

I could use the light for starting seeds otto improve the rooting of blueberry and sand cherry cuttings. Be Blessed.

I'm entering the Mars Hydro grow light competition, I'm growing Aleppo peppers in the Northeast US and they are not happy since I've brought them inside for the winter, the Mars Hydro grow light is just the thing to make them perk up until Spring.

I would love to win! I'm still in my beginners stage of gardening. And still learning many different ways to grow vegestables from my own backyard. There's so much to learn and experiment on seeds and many different plants to grow. I usually grow seeds directly into the soil in my tiny garden in the backyard, but I would love to start indoor earlier before even spring begins this would be so awesome! I would like to grow some roselle too, I hope this will grow here in SC. Thanks for your informative videos. I've learned a lot by watching many of your videos. Happy planting everyone!

Hi Wendy! I have started growing plants recently. Cabbage, Napa cabbage, lemons and bell peppers! Would love to grow peas, lentils!

Entering, would love to add to my indoor herb wall, especially since the dark of winter is right around the corner

I'd love to have the light to start my own flower garden it's something I've always wanted to do ever since I was a little girl but I just can't afford to buy lights I could afford to run them because electricity is included in my rent. I would be super thrilled to have it

I’m growing kale 🥬 and lemon plant downstairs in my man cave. And thanks to you I’m growing my ginger to

My cabbage plants all got killed by root bugs .. so now I will try and grow them indoors..wish me luck

I would love to use the grow light inside to help my tropical plants thrive through the winter.

Do you have a video about how to grow the plant from seeds, what kind of plant food is needed and how to avoid root root for potted plants

For some reason my seedlings get a bit stunted in their growth in the fall/winter, so I would use the MARS light for that :)

I found that in other parts of the world the fruits are more practical use but in most Asian countries the leafs are gold.

In The Caribbean, Trinidad And Tobago, we boil it and Sweeten it with sugar to taste. I didn't know you can eat the pods

Love Roselle and very exited to enter give away and also having hard time finding seeds. First year gardener so don't have any grow light set up so I will use it to grow roselle, eggplants & pepper plant during winter. I started because of my 80 yr old mother who started with depression and loves plants to keep her occupied so thank you Wendi for the opportunity. Have a bless day💜

Hi Wendi, Yes, I'd love to enter your Giveaway! I would use the SP 150 Grow Light to get a head start on my Spring Garden...veggies, flowers and more. Thank you so much for your Giveaway!

I would LOVE to try using to use this grow light by entering this giveaway because I want to try growing moringa olifiera as micro greens inside my house 😊 My mom and I have been buying the powder at our local health food store for years, but now we would like to grow our own because it would be so much cheaper. Thank you for this opportunity, Wendi! Happy Thanksgiving everyone 😊💖😊💖

I have a few nepenthes I would like to boost overwinter. Would also like to try growing Roselle in zone 8A using the SP150 to jump start my plants in spring.

I use a strawberry corer to take out the seed pods :)

Thank you so much for showing the calyx up close to the camera! My plant has some tiny bit of green as well and so I've been confused if that means it's not ready or if its okay to eat still.

Use an apple corer to easily and quickly remove the seed pod from the callix.

i love roselle tea! thanks for the plant info! i just got some tiny tom tomato seeds and want to grow them aquaponically over the winter. we always need more light!!!

I am a first time gardner and it would help me with trying to grow different vegetables. I want to try tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, etc. I just want to get seedlings going so that I can plant them and not have to spend money on store bought transplants.

How did you make your plant sprout so many fruit? What type of fertilizer you are using? Mine dropped a lot, only able to harvest a handful only.

Thank you soooo much for this! Been wanting to grow these to make tea with.... finally I have to plants growing in the backyard!

Enter me please!!! :) I'm growing carambola (starfruit), pomegranate, lemons, peppers, tomatoes, and attempting to start kiwi vines indoors right now. I have a tiny indoor greenhouse next to a south facing window that supports them now but they definitely need a light upgrade! I live in Michigan in zone 6b, so a lot of my plants stay inside all winter. I'd love to use this light to give them the TLC they need! ❤️

I am entering this giveaway. I recently found out that peppers are a perennial and I would definitely start overwintering them using these lights.

Candied hibiscus! That sounds amazing

Thank you thank you thank you that was the best info I was looking for. A Spanish man gave me a plant I didn't what he was talking about eating and making a tea out of. I have a Texas star hyb. It makes a pretty star flower looks like marijuana growing had a start of that plant 15 years .

Roselle fruits & leaves are both edible.leaves 🌿are the favourite veg in my home country.

I like this grow light to have early start of my warm vegetables!

Great info!! Growing them this spring

That's awesome, my first time in one of these give away contest. I'm in a colder climate, so that would help all my plants and seedlings. If it works well I'll need to pick up a few more🙃

Thank you for this video! I have a question. I’m trying to decide where to plant this on my property. I want to put it near my other herbs, but I’ve read this plant gets huge, is that true?Is there a way to keep it a manageable size without it stunting the growth of the blossoms? Or should I find a place in the sun that has a lot of space?

Your idea of cold and my idea of cold are 2 different things. It was -22 where I am 2 winters ago. I wanted to try this grow light, but found it a little too expensive. I bought the 4 foot fixtures from MoniosL instead, but would like to give this one a try.

Thank you for this great opportunity & chance! I would be grateful to win the @marshydroclaire grow light and give my Dec/Jan/Feb seedlings a great jump start for our early spring here in N. Las Vegas.

I am so in love with this. I want to try .. but not sure if I could make it happen. My big concern about over wintering is the bugs inside the house. What are you thoughts. So do they grow and flower first year to use?

We call this bisab in Sierra Leone...we use it to make a drink

Hi Do they die back every year and you have to plant new seeds or will your plants just return in the spring? Thank you.

please how did you applied fertilizer and how many days from planting you harvested the calyx

Please, enter me into this Give-a-Way! :) Currently, I am just about ready with some Flowering Quince seeds that I have been Stratifying in the fridge, they are due to be sprouting on Dec 17. I also have some Juniper seeds that I am stratifying as well. ....I was actually hoping you were giving away seeds for this Roselle, how lovely they are as a Fall display, I am Zone 8a in Las Cruces, NM, and I bet they would perform very nicely as most Hibiscus do. This year I did Tree Morning-Glory, Ipomoea Carnea, and they were such a Lovely display, and I suspect they will act as a Hardy Perennial for me, if not, from seed to Bloom they grew quite fast.

I would love to have that light to grow tomatoes all winter long in Minnesota

I suspect that this grow light in conjunction with my heat mats would produce great seedlings.

Awesome giveaway! I would love that for growing all my vegetable starts. I love roselle and grow it every year.

I would like to enter the giveaway. I would love to grow greens indoors over the winter since it gets so gray and miserable here.

Lovely harvest I love Roselle We call sorrel in Jamaica

Thank you for having this giveaway!! I'd love to grow peppers and tomatoes indoors with this grow light❣💡 🍅🌶👍🙏🤗

I would like to enter the giveaway and I plan to use it to grow a bottle gourd plant and a tomato plant in my apartment.

I'm entering the giveaway for the MarsHydro Grow light. I would love to start pak choy, okra, eggplant, tomatoes and peppers under it.

Entering. I would use the grow light to grow more micro greens. I’m missing them now that’s it’s cold.

I would absolutely love to enter the giveaway! I’m planning to grow a variety of tropical trees from seed and cuttings that can’t stand the cold. I also I’m looking forward to this coming spring and summer season, planning to grow many fun summer and fall crops that just love growing in grow lights! Love your videos and wishing you good energy!

Hope I win. the one I did had broke a few days ago. I will grow my peppers, and tomatoes for spring.

I would like to enter the give-away. My garden is in winter mode, that means Garlic, Elephant Garlic & Bok Choy. But i do have special plants that i like to baby. a few Noni trees (they make gorgeous potted trees) and Miracle berry! I also make Lions Ear cuttings, divide Valerian, and trying to save Cassabanana (look this one up Wendi, trust me) with cuttings. We built a green house this year, but it sits in shade. :( my goal this spring is starting seeds early. I plan to focus on starting seed ~ CapeGooseberry, MIracle berry, Spaghetti squash (only one SVB doesnt attack here), Goji, and a melon. id like to take a moment to dote on my plans. I had this dream to grow a "famine garden" of heavy fruiting bushes, with sour and/or nasty fruit, to combine with Miracle Berry. Untapped resources! Silver berry, Noni, Goji, Soh-Shang/Indian Olive, Hog plum, Jamun, unripe fruits. MIracle berry makes them all taste like New Amazing fruits! Do you know any tart fruits, maybe not usually thought of as good? Ok, i talk enough. Thanks for the vids Wendi. Happy Thanksgiving.

Why are they crumpled? is this frmo fertilzer or variety? I dont like to chew them, they make my teeth feel weird (like its way too acidic). But if you take them with miracle berry they taste like cherry jolly ranchers

Awesome video. What beautiful plants.
