Growing Dandelion from Seed Head (36 Days Time Lapse)

- Ever wonder how fast a dandelion is growing? This 36 days time lapse captured part of the journey, from seeds to sprouting. We took a blowball's seedling from our backyard and test-planted it in an indoor container with LED light and regularly watering. Plant was thriving rigorously to mature sizes by day 36th.

I just moved to a country property last Summer. After we mowed, thousands of dandelions began growing. I picked the leaves, washed them, and ate them all Summer until the snow fell in December. In January they started to grow again! I saute mine with onions and garlic as you would any dark green. Delicious!
Can you describe the taste because I tried a leaf of a random dandelion that was growing amongst my arugula, the other day, and it was quite bitter. :-/
@@jonescity They are a bit bitter, and you have to get use to the taste. Also they can be a bit chewy. For less bitter one - pick those that have grown in shade and have bigger leafs. The dandelions that grow in full sunlit area have more skinny/long leafs and are more bitter. The same apply to the kale (if you grow one yourself - better put them in mid shade for better taste) Also the flower is editable, and that part is sweeter, it is actually the most beneficial part of the flower.
That said there is some wild varieties or look-likes; like the "sow thistle" or the "flatweed" that are more bitter - but they are actually editable too. I believe you can put the Dandelions for a few minutes in a pan and cook/sweating them to mild the taste too.
@@LyubomirIkoThank you, that's great to know! It's interesting how our palate's can be coaxed into liking some foods if we keep trying it in different ways. I bet if a freaking Kardashian ate dandelions it would catch on 🤪. I'm going to try your suggestions tonight and saute some dandelion greens in with callaloo! Hope you have a great rest of your week 💖🙏🕊
That sounds so gross haha. I would never think of eating a dandelion
@@brettvogel8418 when the global food supply begins to strain you might think otherwise. People will be trying to harvest dandelions from their neighbors to sauté with their grasshoppers. The world will be in crises, but not you, you’ll be feasting like a king!
Finally now I know what those sprouts are in my pot
Same
Same
Wow the heads don't really have that many seeds, for some reason I thought there'd be at least twice as many. This was great thank you.
Well to be fair the seedlings were fighting for space. It's recommended 6 to 9 inches apart and in rows 12 inches apart.
@@pricklypear7934 good point
The ones at the bottom might be too deep and just never poked through
Yeah, not all of them sprouted, im guessing
The grow better spread out on top of the soil
Dandelion is extremely cold hardy and heat tolerant. I have a dandelion volunteer that grows by itself and it has tolerated below 25F outside with snow and ice. LOL
Dandelion is such a resilient plant, it grows on concrete cracks like its chilling on the amazon forest lmao
Wow great i am going to try when i see a dandelion
You have no idea I have been trying to find how to grow dandelion greens for almost a year and you float along God bless you! Love and good vibes from Sydney Australia ❤️🇦🇺☮️🙏🐨 just subbed too! ❤️
How can you be so out of touch with nature that you don't know how to grow A DANDELION...
Google for less than a minute to find out mostly anything.
@@emilek5141 easy. Many people live in apartments, doesn't even have their own soil, have seen cow, pig or chicken only few times, have never grown even a potato.
I am growing dandelions in a little cupcake container so that my giant leopard moth caterpillars can eat their favorite little flowers!
It is funny. I see them every day and everyone kills them with various methods and tools.😂
They miss probably one of the most healthy and free food along the nettle.
I smack them against rose bush thorns sometimes (to see what happens) yeah I know I might kinda be an idiot or whatever but for some reason white liquid comes gushing out…
Thanks I'm gonna try this for my rabbit
Love your videos 🥰🥰🤜🤛
Hope it works. ❤️😀....thank you...for help ☺️
One step closer ❤
Like the jazz
Very clever
Strange the leaves don’t look like dandelions. They have jagged peaks going backwards
There are many dandelions variety and even in the same type there may be difference in the leaves.
@@Dracomancer Even if they are the same - how the leafs looks also depends on the amount of sunlight, water and temperature.
Thanks and what about the species or variety?
What kind of soil?
Were they under grow lights?
thank you!
Yes, we're using potting-mix soil and grow lights.
Cool
When do the flowers come ? My bearded dragon loves them
Day 1! Just potted one and watered it down. How often, and how much, do you need to water it anyway ?? And what was the temperature of the room?
I watered almost everyday when seeding and once when the soil's surface looked dry later.
What did you do with the dandelions lions did you eat them because cause dandelions are very healthy I trust you go on TH-cam search search eat dandelions and you can eat them
I was expecting to see the dandelion in the flower pot.
So does the flower not grow??
Day 4 no sprout yet in my pot🙃
How did it go? Did they sprout?
its funny coz these are all over my neighbourhood garden and people dont like them because mo matter how many of them they rip off you still find more growing days later
0:25 this is what mine looks like but their like 2 inches tall and the tallest are just starting to grow a third leaf, theve been like this since they germinated, why?
Did or (does) it grow the yellow dandelion flower?
Yes, it will bloom yellow flowers when it's mature.
@@eLapseTime And after the flower head closes permanently it will turn into white fluffy seed heads or puff balls. Then it will get blown away and its life cycle will repeat
@@eLapseTime how long does that usually take?
@@jenanimazed5932 Honestly, I'm not sure how long, but I guess around 3-4 months.
Mature? I murder these with my lawn mower and have new flowers the next day.
One Time I grew dandelions but I was not successful because they died or I didn't shift them or water them I'll try to do my best this time
UM…Where is the dandelion I think you forgot the dandelion
I once tried to grow one of my own dandelions in spring 2023, and i did the exact same thing he did but the dandelion only grown like 3 inches thats it for the sprout😂😂
Until i realized i kept it indoors so bees or anything couldnt fo anything to it😂😂
What are those bugs? What are they doing? Why are they there?
They are fungus gnats. They were there because over-watering the plant.
@@eLapseTime Good to know, thanks 😊
Weeds grow so fast how they spread everywhere
Where could I get seeds
Amazon.
oh literally out side for free, dandelions are considerd as pest so its not hard to find em
Just go outside?
Wasn’t dandelion jsut weeds?
Yes, it is. However, people sometimes grow them as food for animals, or medicine.
Thats a waste of potting soil. You could have just put it in a crack in a cinderblock.
Make sure you do this with the correct knowledge. There are 2 types of dandelion. One has a single main root, the other has a dual main root. The dual rooted dandelion will kill you.
That’s actually not dandelion. Looks more like prickly lettuce
He literally planted the seeds at the start.
They’re dandelions, dandelion leaves are edible.
Those lil buggers are the bane of my life 🤦♀️
What?! They are extremely healthy, just eat them.
I’m the 801st like!
