Re: Passiflora
 

No, this one is of second edulis batch. Anyway, still no flowers on first Fredericks even some vines are more than 10ft. Great growth, shine color, no flowers?

Do you find that a heat mat is needed for germination?

Re: Passiflora
 

No it does not have to be a heat mat just heat.A light bulb will work.In summer just outside temps.work just fine.

Re: Passiflora
 

A heat mat is a safer in damp environment.

P.edulis Frederick x P.incarnata

Re: Passiflora
 

i see you use rockwool..what eles do you start them in??gota get into growing them..thanks ...do you do any cross pollination of your own????

Re: Passiflora
 

Just plain rockwool for germination and then pot into 50/50 coco coir and perlite or peat and perlite. Yes I have 100's of crosses/hybrid fruit

Re: Passiflora
 

Hybrid fruit

Re: Passiflora
 

Re: Passiflora
 

alata?

Re: Passiflora
 

Close.This one is a very rare cross P.alata x P.edulis

Re: Passiflora
 

your production?

Re: Passiflora
 

Cool. Do the leaves resemble alata or edulis, or somewhere in between?

Re: Passiflora
 

More alat but with some serration on the leaves. This may be the only hybrid of these two in the U.S.

Re: Passiflora
 

Still blooming and setting fruit in December

Re: Passiflora
 

Mine gave up on that about a month ago, maybe a bit longer. Must be nice and toasty in your yard. Mine are still growing leaves, and it's a good thing because the fritillary caterpillars are going nuts on them. Strangely, so far they're only eating the Moorea P. edulis and not the Frederick.

Re: Passiflora
 

I think it's the amount of light :ha::ha:

[IMG][/IMG]Hi, today I pruned my P. x decaisneana and P. alata as they got infested with red spider mites. Had to take them out and spray them, but since they got enormous I cut them down to about 1.5m. :vbseo_replace_urls("((((( Along went the only fruit on P. x decaisneana. Now, I wonder how yellow/orange does it have to be for the seeds to be ripe and able to germinate? Below is the pic of the fruit. To me it seams still green, so can it ripe when cut down from the plant?
