Woo! Growing exotic stuff, love it! Which are the passion fruit seedlings (the clover looking ones?) and which is the jackfruit?

You can give me some tips on passion fruit growing then :D what do you mean you brushed them?

[Azhar]

The clover looking ones, the fuzzy bottom pics are the passion fruit. You have to brush the pulp off the seeds so it doesnt rot. I used a tooth brush. im still learning. They might not survive the winter. o well.

Check out the passion fruit vine on the right and the Jackfruit plant on the left. The Jackfruit has been growing really well and relatively fast as it only gets afternoon sunlight.

Oh that jackfruit plant looks nice and shiny!

[Azhar]

the jackfruit is on the left and the passion fruit is on the right. and yes they both look beutifull, i'm sooo proud of my jackfruit, its been growing quick. The passionfuit vine stalled for a bit then i moved it to a bigger room and it grew taller and more leaves withing 1-2 days.

I found some passionfruit here at a whole foods in Dallas so I did some research on how to grow them. This is what someone said on a different site

"I juice my passion fruit after they have shrivilled and plant the seeds directly into small plastic cups with seed starting mix. I had 100% of the seeds germinate within 2 weeks. In my opinion they germinate faster when they are fresh instead of cleaned dryed and stored. I even leave some pulp on them and they perform just fine."

^ They will germinate... no problem, especially fresh from the fruit.
But they are so *freakin'* slow to grow... mines sprouted in 2-4 days but are still at 2 true leaves after a month's time :eek:

How many seeds did you plant? each passion fruit here costs $3 per piece :eek:

[pwr_wrx]

can i do the paper baggie method and have them germinate???

[pwr_wrx]
