Passion flowers and fruit in container fall update zone 7a 

Do you provide extra light while inside? I do and the fruit is able to ripen. Hope you get some flowers earlier next time 🤞

Thanks! these flower quickly from seed, how old is your vine?

@@raregrowsNJ 4 years but I didn't have a green thumb back then. It got some pretty thick stem down there. If you want then I'll notify and record a video of it when it flowers

@@gurkengamingpvz21 sure, would be cool to see

@@raregrowsNJ alright

well well i forgot to tell you it seems but its a regular white and pinkish edulis with small fruit. might be so because i polinated it with caerulea but thats to yet find out. my other edulis form called edulis f. flavicarpa looks stunning and is almost black though, will show next week if it will bloom@@raregrowsNJ

you can get a fresh fruit at a hispanic or asian grocery store like Hmart. if you are in the USA sometimes whole foods will have passion fruit. you can also try juice!

thank you!

because it has fruit that needs to ripen, I put it in my grow tent with LED lights.the tent is inside my attic. if it didnt have fruit, a cool hallway works as well. it doesnt try to grow so low light is ok until spring, ive kept them this way one year and it worked well

it depends on the variety, the yellow edulis needs a pollinator. the purple edulis does not

@@raregrowsNJ I brought 2 black beauty here in New Zealand, it is spring at the moment for another month, if it rains ground gets soggy so going to plant in pots because I was told they don't like soggy feet.

@@raregrowsNJ I live in New Zealand so maybe carport or garage will be ok lol

@@annette-thetwistedsister8727 oh yeah as long as you don't get frost in there they will be ok! the cool temp keeps them semi dormant

These are self fertile but not self pollinating. I read somewhere there are specific conditions where the flower might self pollinate when the flower closes and stigmas and anthers make contact but if it's outside mostly carpenter bees will do it, so I still hand pollinate when I see pollen on open flowers. When I have the plant inside and it blooms I will hand pollinate every flower

@@raregrowsNJ Thanks. I've been reluctant to test as I want every flower to develop into a fruit. I've recently started P. edulis flavicarpa as well and I guess that one is often not self-fertile so in addition to hand pollinating will need to cross-pollinate.

I will have cuttings in the spring. Did not save seeds, working on that for next season :)

@@raregrowsNJ thank you 🙏🏼 Let me know when they ready.

@@Gina2288Gm Hello I have some cuttings available on my Etsy store raregrowsnj.etsy.com

I might go up to a 4 or 5 gallon, trying to keep it at 3 gallons but that might not be feasible as the roots grow too quickly. I think the plants are already declining from being pot bound at this size but they are easy to propogate from cuttings so I was just planning to replace the main vine with the rooted cuttings every couple of years.

@@raregrowsNJ thanks

@@raregrowsNJ I wonder if you could root prune and prune them back. I have some kind of passionfruit I am planning on burying in a grow bag (root pouch brand) so I don't have to water too much, and I was planning on chopping it back at the end of the season, and pulling the root pouch out of the ground and sticking it in my garage for the coldest part of winter (our winters in N GA aren't very long or intesne... it'll be an experiment.

@@tylerwernli9538 I saw another youtuber use a grow bag sunken into the ground and let the passionfruit grow up a trellis, not sure what they did with it after. When does it get cold where you are? I have to bring these in by November so the fruit has to finish inside especially if they flower later like my older plant did.

لما لا تزرعها في الأرض مباشرة

Hi, scientifically named "passiflora edulis". I grew it from seed so it is not a named variety :)

@@raregrowsNJ Thank you! flowers are very beautiful.

Thank you. I plan to put some stuff up on Etsy or Ebay eventually. Thanks for watching!

Hello I have some cuttings available on my Etsy store raregrowsnj.etsy.com

yes, especially in the summer I water every day

@@raregrowsNJ thank you

Hmm a red one no haven't seen it, what is the scientific name? Do you mean red flowers or red fruit?

hello thanks for your comment it's "passiflora edulis". dried seeds don't germinate as well as fresh, you can get a fresh fruit at a hispanic or asian grocery store like Hmart. if you are in the USA sometimes whole foods will have passion fruit for sale

Soon! Less than one year to get fruit for me in a pot
