I know this is 2 years ago, but two years or today I freaking love all of your videos, even your voice I just love.
I appreciate the time you take with your videos and the artful presentation. It’s like going on a journey as the plants grow. Our passion flower vine went dormant for a year and then came back strong.
Even though it wasn't the variety you were hoping for, the flower was still pretty 🥳
It is a beautiful flower
This video is a work of art. It’s the first I’ve watched and I’m blown away by the long form, season-long tracking to make a single video. What a treat! Thank you.
Hey, you never know. I planted a few pineapples in pots outside and brought them indoors in October, and one bloomed and grew a fruit this winter. It should be ripe in a couple of months. It's also a striking houseplant. Who would have thought you could grow pineapple in New Jersey? Maybe you'll get some passionfruit.
I'll have to research what causes them to bloom, because mine only bloomed once indoors.
@@suburbanhomestead Takes a lot of time. Dont think indoors really is the reason. I have grown them with no issues, just a loooooot of patience
@@suburbanhomestead How many days till they fruit is based on how many hours of sunlight they get. Takes about 2 years normally from planting till they fruit and then about 12-18 months later they will produce a smaller fruit, and then another 12-18 months, each getting smaller until you pull the plant up and replant it (cut off the roots and replant) so that it has fresh roots. Used to work on a pineapple plantation where we had it down to a science.
Nice. Have you ever tried to grow paxsion fruit in New Jersey?
❤
If you want a passionflower variety that's cold tolerant and produces more delicious, large fruit, try another US native, Passiflora Incarnata, also called Purple Passionflower or "Maypop"
The flowers are typically purple but can vary, and the fruits get to about 3/4 the size of commercial passion fruit (Passiflora Edulis) the fruits usually stay green or turn slightly yellow through ripeness, but you don't wait until they are wrinkly to pick, rather you go by smell or just when they fall off, you get used to telling ripe from unripe pretty quick.
Unripe they mildly smell a little like rubber or an old shoe, like the rest of the plant, not offensive but not smelling edible, once they are ripe they smell very tropical and fruity!
I bought passion flower seeds and have tried twice to germinate them with no success. Thank you for this video! I’m going to try the plate technique. There is a restaurant near me that has them growing all over their brick wall and the flowers are amazing. I even pinched a piece off hoping to propagate it but no luck there either. It hasn’t died just hasn’t produced any roots.
beautiful video again, thanks so much for creating it
I LOVE how natural you are!!! I also think you’re brave for using your bare hands for everything 😎🫣😂❤️
Love your seeding system
Thank you for showing your plate germination method. Pictures of passion flowers take my eye.
They are wonderful flowers
I love your programs!
Beautiful as always! Keep up the great work! 💜🙂
thanks
Love your vibe
Good job Siloe.
All we can do is try and hope for the best.
Keep up the good work 👍
God bless you 🤗
Thanks
This was a superb video, Topic, format& music up to your usual high standard s, do highly entertaining and engaging. You have me curious to see the outcome of the indoor & outdoor Passion fruits now! i like things that teach and intrigue me, so thank you, Siloe!
I found a passion fruit plant growing on the ground in my garden and decided to build a trellis out of fallen tree branches for the vines to climb. I live in a tropical country, so, it's hot and humid. Never heard of passion flower plant, but thanks to your introduction of it in this video. Love all your well produced videos - they are engaging and original. I wish your channel will continue to grow!!
I think that passion fruit is better anyway, because it has the beautiful flower and a tasty fruit
Thank you! I found this growing wild one year and the fruit was delicious! I harvested some seeds but have waited to find a good method to follow. I can't wait to join you.
Awesome
@@suburbanhomestead After setting up 8 seeds on a plate to try myself I decided to watch again. I was joyed to see your emphasis on "repurposed" zip-lock bag 1:19 after I had to wash old potato chips out of mine. I overlooked that thoughtful piece of advice in the beginning, but thanks for including it. If I have any luck perhaps I can send you a few seeds?
I too love planting tropical plants indoors! Lemons, pineapple plants. And more
Another great video. Thank you.
I once germinated a few seeds from an actual passion fruit. I got two lovely vines, which I had to give away, sadly, because they got too big for their pots, and my landlady did not want them in her garden (they tend to take over). Mind you, I live in a very dry and hot area in the Middle East.
Such a plant dad ❤️
Great advice about the fern. Now I feel encouraged not to give up on mine.
It may come back :-)
Nice music! (Like the video too, as always)
Oh my. Now I need to grow Passion flower. I’m in south Louisiana so it may do well
Yes, I may grow very well there (It might even be a weed there)
I need more videos about lavender flower from siloè :)
Hey! I just came to your channel via Summer Rayne Oaks´s channel and your video collab. And I am amazed, the quality of your videos and beautiful content is top! Im happy to have found another nice channel to follow, connect and learn new things about plants and gardening
Just found your videos. Would like to see more of your Victorian home. Renovations/collecting your style.
I’m growing a golden variety in a pot outside. All it needs in our maritime temperate climate is additional water in the summer to throw out tendrils and rigorously creep up the trellis like a happy triffid.
I wonder if I could send you some seeds from Melbourne Australia (?) not sure about the US quarantine laws.
Hope you will be able to enjoy more of the magnificent blossoms next year.

Hi Siloe'. When I was a child in Arkansas we used to have wild passion fruit vines. They were considered to be weeds. We called them May Pops because we would stomp the fruit and it would make a popping sound. The fruit was a little larger than a golf ball and I wasn't very fond of the fruit other than to stomp it to get the "pop" sound. They were sweet but bland from my recollection. I liked what you did with your passion fruit vine. It should either come up this spring from roots or from seeds. Arkansas is in our same 7 zone so the climate is not that different from here. I'll be interested in hearing how your passion vine does!
I just checked outside and yes, it is coming up from the main stem. I thought it had completely died in winter. If only the fruit of this variety was as delicious as the tropical one.
@@suburbanhomestead I started 3 passiflora caerulea from seeds that were passiflora caerulea (bluecrown passion flower) and also bought 1 seedling from a nursery that was passiflora incarnata (maypop passion flower).
The maypops flowered a lot in August-September, but once days dropped into the 50s-low 60s, that slowed down. It had a tremendous quantity of secondary shoots, and even started to grow a sucker/root sprout about 18 inches from the base of the plant in late summer.
The passiflora caerulea mostly did not flower, two of the plants just shot up 20-25ft in a single vine without any secondary shoots - and those didn't flower. Once of them I accidentally broke the growth tip when it was still only 2ft tall, which seems to have caused it to grow a lot more secondary shoots. It gave me 3 flowers.
It's encouraging that your caerulea managed to overwinter, especially since the stem survived and not just the root. They're supposed to be hardy to zone 6, while maypops are hardy to zone 5 apparently. I'm in zone 6 based of annual low, but my winter means are more typical of zone 5, so especially if we get a harsher than average winter, it could be a little hard on my passion flowers. I took cuttings though, so I'm hoping they take so that I can use them as back-ups if my in-ground plants don't make it through the winter.
Awesome info. Just to let you know I once managed to grow passion fruit, it takes at least two years after being plenty to grow fruit. Let me warn you tho, they are very sensitive to cold weather try to protect it over the winter months and you should have not just the flower but also the fruit to enjoy.. Love your Chanel.
Thanks
I just germinated some passion fruit vines. I'm going to have them growing through my aviary for my bird to enjoy.
I’m in love. That’s it.
:-)
we had a passiflora vine in our garden, they are beautiful, and the fruits are sweet indeed
How do you eat them?
@@jungleman4800 when they are very ripe, you open them with your thumbs and eat directly from your hand, under the vine, making sure to dirty youself
Your so knowledgeable about gardening, have you ever thought about getting a bigger piece of land?
Love his property, it’s the perfect little garden 🌿🐛🦋
When younhave too many of something you planted you should try leaving them at the sidewalk with a sign that says FREE. I've done this and it’s so nice when months later people I don’t know come by and tell me thank you. Just clearly label things.
You should get the native Passionflora incarnata. It has medicinal properties as well as beauty
🌸Lovely 🌸
:-)
Scuff them with a little sandpaper and soak in warm water for one hour up to 1 day. Then plate germinate or plant.
What grow lights do you use/recommend? What about good markers to mark names?
Haha, those grow naturally in my state (Georgia). I wish I didn't rip them all up out of frustration, they're a really soothing tea!
Maybe they will grow back
I just bought these same seeds!
:-)
Passion is what you have towards gardening! Is that shovel like´d knife your favorite gardening tool? Keep up the great content!
Wait is that music you’ve created? It’s awesome.
I have been growing Passiflora indoors and in a greenhouse in the UK for years. They do better in a pot which will restrict its roots. The pots can be taken outdoors for the summer. Be sure to water and feed them regularly. Filling the pot with roots usually takes two years and when that part is achieved you can then start to expect an abundance of flowers and eventually fruits if the flowers are pollinated by bees.
I found this exact vine growing 12 feet high on a telephone pole in Montreal. It’s growing in no more than two cups of earth in a five inch pot!! It is now full of blooms and I assume the first frost will kill it! I wish I could save it…no idea who placed it there.
cool beans
Is that you singing!? I love it!
It is.
I am in Maryland as well and I have been growing the same passionfruit as you for a good two years now. P. caerulea seems to be pretty happy on my western exposure windowsill and i'm really glad to have it. If you want a more hardy Passionfruit then you need Passiflora incarnata which is a native variety. I hope to get several species of Passiflora and maybe even graft them together and create hybrids.
I'm growing passiflora incarnata, caerulea, edulis, ligularis, tripartita and manicata here in Canada zone 5. Mostly in containers that I bring indoors. However, I did try growing incarnata and caerulea in-ground and they both grew back from the roots, despite temperatures dropping down to -7F during the worst Arctic blast.
Perhaps incarnata is slightly hardier in terms of the root system, but I think the hardiness of caerulea has been under-rated by Americans. Caerulea grows well outdoors unprotected in most of England, and remains evergreen there. It has been able to remain evergreen even after temperatures of 12F in mid December 2022, and it was only with prolonged 5-10F temperatures and strong winds on Dec 23-24 2022 that my caerulea foliage died back to the ground.
Coastal MD (Annapolis, Baltimore, etc) often doesn't drop below 10F in the winter, and the average temperatures are barely colder than those of the UK, so I think passiflora caerulea would have a good chance at remaining evergreen.
The other advantage of caerulea in my growing experience is that they sprout out of the ground earlier, giving them a head start on the growing season. Incarnata seems to require quite warm soil, like 70-80F, vs only about 60-65F for caerulea. Only downside is caerulea fruit are apparently not that tasty (mine have only given flowers, not fruits), so more of an ornamental compared to incarnata which tastes pretty good.
I think not all passifloras are able to cross pollinate each other but caerulea and incarnata can - I was able to get fruits from my incarnata and they were likely pollinated by the adjacent caerulea plants. So maybe my seedlings from the saved fruit will be hybrids?
Grafting doesn't create hybrids; transferring pollen from one species to the stigmas of another does (if it succeeds). Incarnata spreads by runners, so isn't a good rootstock (it will compete with the scion). Grafting in Passiflora is done mostly as a response to nematodes, since yellow passionfruit (P. edulis flavicarpa) are less vulnerable than purple (P. edulis). I don't know how much pest data is available on the more interesting, less commonly grown species.
I'm trying passion fruit with seeds I got from actual fruit I live in a apartment so planting in the ground is not an option i still have hope to see this vine grow and dream to have it go up the wall and go along the ceiling.
Where did you get those cool metal trays?
At a web restaurant supply
Do you know how to grow passiflora edulis from seed the golden variety of Passion fruit plant
Oh my God!!! You are the man of my dreams! I adore passionflower and in Sardinia where i habit , grow the tacsonia. Want you come to me sweetness???
When should I try to germinate the seeds, to be planted in Chicago Suburbs? Thx.
P. incarnata (which maybe should be in a sunken large pot, because it is aggressive by underground runners if it survives winter) needs a warm microclimate and good drainage to survive Chicagoland winters and should be started in spring to have the best chance of establishing strong roots before cold comes. P. lutea is marginally hardier (in both cases, northern germplasm should be better; both species are found in FL but FL seeds will tend to produce plants adapted to Florida rather than the Midwest) but neither edible nor very showy (unless you happen to get one with variegated foliage). No other species is hardy in your climate except as a house or greenhouse plant (in which case, season doesn't matter).
I purchased 2 native passion vines at the local fall festival last fall. I wish I new what kind the native are. I am in Florida zone 8b. They have been flowering for about 2 months. I hope to see fruit soon.
I know that the "wild" type in the south doesn't produce as succulent and flavorful fruit as the tropical one
@@suburbanhomestead I'm in subtropical so I hope I've got the better tasting one. Also I read they only reproduce on new growth so it will need to be purne ever year to reach the fruit.
Just hopping in to say that you may need to hand pollinate them.
@@ponchimunchy7444 do you know how to do that? This is the first year I've done this.
@@ponchimunchy7444If he has two genetically distinct vines (same or related species; P. lutea will not cross P. incarnata but edulis usually will), carpenter bees (fairly common in FL) will pollinate them quite well.
Im growing red sweet passion fruit. I can send you seeds.
Ateam pisan me too! Me too! Lol
same
I'm not sure which variety, but passion flower is the state wildflower here where I live in Tennessee!
They seem to flourish in the south
@@suburbanhomestead I have a big yard if you ever decide to come garden in the south! We would love to have you! :)
Passiflora Incarnata!!
Nice video... I have purple possum passion fruit seeds if you want a few
Thanks. I just noticed mine is resprouting outside now. We'll see what happens
It grows wild in the South East.
To me, the fruit tastes funny.
@@PlayerTenji95 I don't think I ever tried it we just played with them. Call them "May pops" Because then make a little pop noise when you squeeze them
Grows wild as well in the East Asia
I have not tried "may pops" but the tropical passion fruit is delicious (with a sweetener especially)
@@suburbanhomestead that's what you grew. Passion fruit in the states is a wild plant that many call maypop
It would be intresting to try to cross this one and the tasty one to hopefully get a cold hardy tasty one.
Do those passion fruit vines come back in the next year?
They do, but I was not impressed with the number of flowers or fruit for this variety. The fruit is also tasteless
P. caerulea is not the best tasting. P. incarnata is more cold hardy, and more likely to survive Gulf Fritilary caterpillars. Various tropical types are likely tastier than either, and several are showier, if you can protect them.
How is the passionflower now?
It still exists and it finally started to flower a bit more, but it takes several seasons for it to do so.
Also the one indors
I am looking fir passiflora mollisima
Doesn't tolerate summer heat, but California nurseries sell it. Probably likes the Bay area, as many Andean plants do.
Luckily, you don't have _passiflora incarnata_ the Maypop Passion Flower; they are hardy and can take over, or become invasive. They are native to the southern US, where they can survive snow and regrow come spring time.
But the incarnata is the one to choose if you're wanting to use it for medicinal purposes. I learned this the hard way after planting this exact same seed packet. The one planted here is toxic to injest.
Unlucky. That is the native edible variety in his area. Being that it is native in his area it would not be invasive, just aggressive and noxious.
That is one great branch arc...iam gonna build myself one just like this. How did you connect the branches? When we lived in seychelles i had a farm and besides papayas, pepper, chilis and ananas passion fruits were my biggest income source. I built a huge trelly out of big bamboo and fishernet and it was such a mouthwatering sight, when all those fruits hung down, green, yellow and purple. The smell of those lovely flowers were an additional pleasure. But the race against rats who came early morning to do the harvest for me was incredible....before four o'clock i had to be up with my little barric or all brown shrivelled ones would be only empty on the floor. How i miss this farm we had. It is so funny you posted this video now, since I just bought a passionfruitplant yesterday. It's not outside yet coz it could still get icecold over here in germany, but i cant wait to plant it on my arc.
Iam so happy to see that you are still producing videos coz i would miss you incredible if you would stop. A recipy for a great passionfruit lime limonade with brown sugar and salt is missing by the way ; ). Can't wait to see your next walk through your garden. Have you ever planted purple asparagus? I've tried it this spring for the first time and iam so curious how those plants will look and taste! Thank you for all the great times i've had with your movies. Loved them all! Best wishes from Germany, Sandra
Thanks for watching Sandra. I'm glad the video evoked fond memories for you. As for the branch arch I connected them with copper electrical wire. The whole structure is also supported with some galvanized electrical metal conduit pipes.
I had always wondered why it was called passion fruit, I just assumed it was because it was an aphrodisiac or something.
I know right.
I think I have a new crush.
