Planting chayote (mirliton) in colder climate is doable but can be challenging. You just have to realise if it's worthwhile to try as chayote requires at least 6 months warm and hot weather before it produces a good harvest. As a Zone 7A gardener I've been successful and have enjoyed some produce every year. My 5 year-old come back chayote plant has done really well with 3 to 4 feet thick leaf mulching. The leaf mulch protects the root system and comes back when the weather is warm and hot in late spring. Correction: In Tennessee the safe time to plant tropical veggies outside is around last week of April (not May). Usually the last frost is around April 21. So it is safe to plant sprouted chayote around last week of April.
This year I planted 4 mature chayote seeds (from my chayote harvest) in grocery bags to give them a good head-start. I planted them around last week of December 2020. I showed in this video how they look like after 3 months indoor. Check out these videos related to my chayote planting. • CHAYOTE PLANT Comes Ba... and • Chayote RE-GROWN PLANT...

Hi, Marie. I searched for your channel looking for the progress of the chayote progress. Today, I finally found it. I have a lot of channels that I subscribed to, so notification gets knocked down fast. They are doing great! Can't wait to find the video for the next update! Thank you, and take care.

Hi! I haven't tried removing the seeds to speed-up the sprouting process. My concern is it could dehydrate the seeds if you remove it from the fruit. The chayote flesh has water and nutrients that keep them hydrated and makes them continue to grow even if you got the not-so- mature chayote. So for me, removing the seed from the chayote fruit will not help speed-up the sprouting.

very nice idea about the grocery bags. besides those bags, we can also use the potting soil bags that we often end up buying anyway when needing some soil for the garden or for potting up some other things. in fact, because that bag comes with the soil you're going to use for another pot, you can just leave some in the bag and use it that way! as for movement of the leaves, some people use a desk fan that blows on the plants now and then.

I tried sprouting my chayote, but the skin outside kept rotting and making a hole. I tried to cut way the seed from the rotting part like you did when I saw the sprout trying to come up. i cut a wide and deep V shape into the fruit and pulled the seed part out, i didn't even knick the seed, but after I put it in water and then put it in seed starting soil, it just stopped growing and continued to rot like the rest of the fruit. I sprayed hyrogen peroxide on the surface to prevent new rotting and the other 3 fruit i have left have not rotted with the Hydrogen peroxide spray so I may have a chance to grow another. but I dont' know why it stopped growing instead of growing like yours did. I don't understand how to get this to sprout without rotting. Should I try to sprout it under a UV lamp to kill mold or fungus on it?? I tried planting a whole fruit but it rotted also. I feel like I'm wasting so much money trying to start a plant. They cost $2.50 a pound and I've lost 3 large sized fruit to rotting before they ever sprouted. Should I use a heat mat to increase the ambient temperature to summer time? Should I put them under a bright lamp to simulate sunshine? This is the first time my store has carried this fruit and i don't know if they ever will again so I want to grow a supply of my own, but I am so frustrated.

Hi, rotting can happen when the chayote is too young to sprout and it get moisture in the cleavage where sprout grow. Let it mature naturally near a window, don't water it because water will cause it mold and rot. When sprout or vine is long and leaves are developed is when you can plant. No need to buy stuff to help it grow. Zone 8 is warm enough for chayote to thrive. It does die in freezing cold. Protect the base with mulch during winter. If roots are protected chayote can grow back in spring.

@@wellnessandcountrylife Thank you for your reply. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. You were correct in letting the plant mature and sprout on it's own. I got a plant that sprouted really strong. it grew well but it did not survive transplanting. But now that I leave them to sprout on their own, I keep getting strong sprouts so I will try again. Unfortunately since my stores don't carry the fruit all year, I have to wait till autumn to get the fruit and so I now can try to actually overwinter the new sprouts. It's only August and not enough time for them to grown outside, so I am re-watching your video so I can let them grow till next spring! ETA: I found by accident that if using a sharp knive I split the chayote along the crack, and just cut all the way around to the other side crack, that the sprout grows out, the fruit splits right along the seed pocket and I can pop it out to plant. I don't have to cut a wedge of fruit out with it. I wish I could attach photos, It's so cool how easy it pops open like a clam!

Hello! Chayotes like hot weather, and cool weather. Your chayote will be okay, it just takes long to bear fruits..but once it starts bearing fruits it will produce for a while. Make sure that you water the plant/base of the soil regularly and don't let it dry up. You can put leaf mulch around the base of the plant to keep moisture in the soil.

What zone are you in? I'm in zone 7. I just checked my chayote plants in the garden and i saw 2 are out already. I'm excited to see 2 grew back this year. One is a 6 year old and the other one it's the 2nd year now. The ones I started indoor are bigger now and I'm.getting ready to transfer them to the garden 🙂

Hi Marie - Nice documentary! I have just started my Chokos plants. Its now month number 2. I now see some sprouts and leaves. I wished i saw your video before i planted because i put the whole fruit into the soil :) I do have some questions for you. Can the Chayote grow in the plastic bag or do you have to eventually move it to a bigger pot/ground? The reason i am asking is because I am currently growing two Chayote in a pot that is roughly the size of your plastic bags. In preparation for winter do you have to move the plant back indoor (the ones that you have grown outdoor) or do you leave them outside? TIA!

Hi I start my chayote plants in containers, then I transfer them in the ground in springtime. Once growing in the ground i leave them in the ground, but I try my best to winterize them to protect the roots, by putting thick mulch around the base of the chayote plants. I live in zone 7. Every year I have 2 or 3 chayote plants come back. The oldest root has been around for 7 years. And I have 3, 2 year - old ones. And the rest are new plants. Every year in the falll/or in winter i start chayote in containers to add to my existing chayotes, because every year it's not guaranteed that my dormant chayotes will come back. I just want to make sure I have 10 plants every year.

@@wellnessandcountrylife Thank you for replying....I live in Sydney Australia so our winter is probably not as cold as yours. I live in a rental house which is why i am reluctant to plant it into the ground just in case we have to suddenly move out. Thanks again for the tips!

Muss man, um Bodenmüdigkeit vorzubeugen, neue Pflanzen jedes Jahr an eine andere Stelle Pflanzen? So wie bei den meisten Gemüsesorten? ( Weil sonst die Ertäge immer weniger werden). Liebe Grüße aus München, Deutschland

Have you tried grafting other curcubits onto a chayote?

No, I haven't tried grafting cucurbits onto a chayote. It would be interesting to try. Will try in the future. I am really busy and don't have much time to experiment heheheh. But it would be nice to do that and share the results here

I have not seriously fertilize my chayotes. The soil is compost so it's rich. You can add organic fertlizer

I used rabbit manure mixed it in soil before planting. Plus it needs enough water.

Yes, if you don't pull the whole thing. If you plant them in the Fall, even if they get winter-over, they will produce more young leaves in Spring
