Growing Passion fruit Vines from Seeds / Germinating Passiflora edulis Seeds

[@clairechoo]

I remember my dad planting a vine when I was a kid growing up in Melbourne. It grew like a weed and ended up covering several meters of mesh. I don't recall it being difficult to grow and we had plenty of fruit in the summers. Aussies will have it over pavlova or ice cream. I liked it scooped into freshly squeezed orange juice. Funny memory, I recall cutting into a fresh off the vine fruit and the skin being so tough, the knife slipped and went straight through my hand. Still like them regardless.

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Cool, Your climate would be much better suited

[@KazziKolorZz]

Correction, wild passion fruit is edible. The ones with the yellow fruit and purple/blueish flowers are called maypops and are delicious. Like a mix between a Granny Smith apple and a sweet lemon.

[@MississippiKitten]

"....of course it tastes fruity; it's a fruit." LOLOL :D

[@gorehammer1]

Carolina reaper is also a fruit.

[@nidalshehadeh6001]

I am in South Florida and I have the passion fruit passiflora growing on my fence , the fruit if picked off the vine is slightly sour ..on the other hand if it is to fall off the vine on to the ground then it is as sweet as sugar , the ones that fall off the vine have a different flavor to them sweeter with no sour .

[@cocospops9351]

About to try and grow these in ireland

[@dhoakohime]

What a gorgeous plant! I recently noticed that in my city, Madrid, they seem to grow really well because i have seen a ton of houses with HUGE bushes of passion flower filled with blooms and fruits in their gardens, which amazes me, because in winter we can get pretty cold here! And the flowers smell so delicious…fresh but full at the some time. Amazing plant

[@hildarivera4757]

Brad I grew these in the tropics and you can make a beverage with this. You just put the seeds in the blender with sugar and water and later you add some ice. It is good to lower high blood pressure. Very effective too. So try it and let me know how you like the beverage. Thanks for sharing : )

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Sounds good!

[@freebutterfly102]

Yes finding good calming herb the leaves can be made as a tea, look it up health experts say it has ingredients to help sleep and help with anxiety

[@CowboyCookhouse]

I defiantly did them wrong last year. This was really helpful 👏

[@kbarb1000]

Thanks for the video, im trying red panama passionfruit seeds at the moment, passionfruit grows very easily here in australia but ive only ever grown grafted types from a nursery, so this will be interesting. I'd love to see updates on yours in the future if you can.

[@camhowelse5797]

Such a beautiful flower

[@cathyplantlover2862]

I had no trouble growing them from seed, but the most interesting thing I found was all my passionflower plants are slightly different from each other, my vines all have a different kind of leaves pattern.

[@freebutterfly102]

Awesome 🌿🥳🐛🦋

[@M2KSAI]

Very informative video and to the point information thank you so much keep it up 👍

[@ninenane]

I should have watched this before I just sow ed my seeds without soaking them. Well I'll see what happens if happens. Thanks for the vid!

[@growingthings6232]

cool video Brad I have Passionfruit growing in my back yard but there are hardy varieties , I will film them when they pop up in May. I have them in my basement holding over for the winter. They don't give fruit but they are ornamental and beautiful.

[@BradsGreenhouse]

I tried the hardy ones to, every winter i'd kill it....

[@growingthings6232]

that sucks I just left them alone figuring they were dead the after the winter hit and well they came back lol

[@sakthicon]

Very informative...

[@GreetingsfromtheLord]

hi I would like to know how much time does it take to germinate and be like that on the pot wow it's amazing

[@ChristopherEPineda]

Around two weeks.

[@lisathewhitewolf]

The passionfruit you were originally referring to is indeed edible, but some people don't like the flavor. The edulis species, the one you're eating, is considered better-tasting. It is not as hardy, however, according to my reading.

[@AleshaaRees]

thx for the great video will try this out defo. why didnt i ever think of this idea? lol have you got a update video on this would love to see it?

[@saltlifegull4091]

Exciting - how long did it take for seeds to come up? Did you get the passion fruit from the grocery store?

[@flipfloppintexasgirl]

Hi! I enjoyed the video. Did you end up growing these to adult plants? Did you have any problems transitioning them from the humid bag to the outdoors? And what color flowers did they produce?

[@NMW80]

So did you grow any fruit off these plants? I have been using fruit from local fruit markets and I'm hoping they grow fruit. I bought some strawberry guava,gooseberry and pepino bushes off nursery cos they don't seek these fruits around here and I know if its bought from nursery it will defo produce fruit. I have some passion fruit seeds I. Wet paper towel in a plastic see through container with glad wrap on too making a lil green house and its worked great :) can't wait to see if it works.

[@11111Moriah]

PLANT UPDATE PLEASE??

[@avrillategan7864]

Would you please video the transplanting into individual pots...since I did the wet paper towel method and transplanted and they died... I had a platic bag over as well...where did I go wrong?

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Avril Lategan not sure where you went wrong, They grew like weeds for me, just skip the paper towel and sow directly in soil.

[@bigt38402]

Avril Lategan roots are sensitive to transplanting. your better off planting seeds in individual pots that can go directly to soil. or like he said get rid of the slow growing ones so the stronger plants get all the nutrients

[@KarineTKnudsen]

I want to grow passionflower (passiflora incarnata) and make tea from it, but will that plant also produce fruits? Also, if I'm going to plant it for making tea, can I cut and dry the whole plant or just the flowers? Thank you!

[@austinhageman7440]

(Old comment, but I'm replying anyway to hopefully help others!) Great idea! Passiflora incarnata is soo helpful in slowing down the mind and body, very useful for anxiety, sleep, and even spiritual practice. I can't speak to the fruits part of your question (although I believe it should), however all parts of the vine are useful in making tea and extracts (and even smoking 😏)! Speaking from experience, as I have personally only used the dried leaves and stems. I'm growing it myself this year in order to experiment with the flowers, which I am hoping will provide an even better (and hopefully tastier 🤞) experience. I would recommend for everyone to try working with this plant, as long as you aren't taking any prescription medications with which it could interact. Bless!

[@JennySimon206]

The seed packet I got says they produce edible fruit to make into jelly. Yay. And they are vining so I can grow them on a trellis. Gonna be beautiful if I can get them to germinate.

[@jadebrady5760]

Did you get any fruits Brad? I started some in the ground a week ago and yet to see it germinate.

[@SarraceniaPlant]

cool

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Thanks!

[@jordanallen3078]

How did the vines turn out??

[@antoniobroccoliporto4774]

I lived in Puerto Rico and passion fruit was quite common. Usually the seeds are diluted in water to make a juice…they are put in a blender with some sugar seeds and all and then need to be strained through a sieve … makes great strong tasty drink… the British make a cocktail called Porn Star that has passion fruit juice, vanilla vodka simple syrup and champagne. It’s quite tasty. PS my seeds grew well without soaking…I laid them on some wax paper to dry them before planing them and like yours most of them sprouted.

[@saltlifegull4091]

Great video, but where do I get a fruit for the seeds, whole foods store? Thanks for sharing.

[@erickaarredondo3158]

Thanks :)

[@orchidlover9537]

Reat video! :) I ordered some passionflower seeds about a month ago, I hope I can get them to germinate :P, good luck, and happy growing! :)

[@BradsGreenhouse]

good luck! and happy growing!

[@ZalthorAndNoggin]

Well done Brad, your seedlings are looking really strong and healthy. Given how successful you were, maybe if you do it again you might want to consider growing on a few extra plants to sell or give away to people in your local area. You were looking for a word to describe the taste of passion fruit. In my experience I'd say it has a sweet, vanilla taste and, as you nearly said, the flavour is very intense.

[@chaddickerson1887]

Are they so water dependent after maturation?

[@phuocminhbui]

How long will it has fruit seen seeding?

[@juliorivera870]

Is concentrated for making juice

[@deborahwong3942]

This is Deborah , I live at San Francisco , area is zone 9 , my friend just gave me the passionflower plants ,I hope I can plant it, can I grow the passionflower in my area ? Thank you !

[@racheldesiwooandlacesmom244]

Did you scarify these seeds? I've been reading about them ( my time attempts with them) to try and learn.

[@JaneDoe-ip5yl]

okay. that must be my problem--not cleaning them well enough. thanks I will try again

[@WoodlandsWorld]

You should save 4 or 5 of those and let me pick them up when i come out to the coast this month ;) I tried planting some last month to no avail, but ive grown standard passion flowers indoors and out with much success.

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Opps, To late...:(

[@kramasz]

How long did it take you to sprout them?

[@freebutterfly102]

He said a couple of days kept in the bag for humid conditions and keep soil moist by sunny window

[@sann3119]

omg it's so easy to germinate p. edulis seeds. It doesn't take much to get them going! These things are so easy they are like growing weeds. I don't know why more people don't grow them. The fruit is very healthy and delicious (& not to mention hard to come by at the stores!), and the vine/flowers are so beautiful and also attracts butterflies. Too many good aspects.

[@BradsGreenhouse]

totally, I can't believe the germination rate... like 100%

[@xPorsum]

I'm only here because the seeds I bought aren't germinating lol

[@saviquin2457]

How did your passion fruit vines grow? Did they produce any fruit

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Stephanie Savinon each vine grew about 2 feet per week or more and had huge leaves. I had to stop growing it, it was wrapping around the Orchids

[@taimurdurrani]

*****

[@millysanchez7137]

they kind of look like papaya seeds I wonder if they are easy To germinate as papaya seeds🤔 will try it soon

[@gonzalochavez5334]

can i use this method for grow Passiflora mollisima or P tripartita?

[@ahmedelgammal5889]

Regarding the reproduction of the acupressure, how do we immerse the mind in an antiseptic or antifungal tonic?Thank you very much

[@mariare0]

I don't really understand how you germinated your seeds. How did you?

[@givmi_more_w9251]

I planted Passiflora coerulea seeds about a month ago ... nothing :( ... about 2 weeks ago I planted Passiflora edulis ... and oh well, also nothing. I am really jealous of your weeds :) Maybe if I dig them out and soak them in water for a few days, they might change their mind?

[@09csr]

+Courier6 Mine germinated when I had them in my window, I just made sure to keep the soil moist. It took about a month for me for them to germinate, and that was during december. I didnt soak them before potting them, and it still worked for me, but I guess its up to personal preference.

[@ShivaniLokaLaksmi]

Did you nick the seed??

[@bebebutterfield1]

The flower is beautiful. I assume the flowers become the fruit?

[@BradsGreenhouse]

thanks, You bet it done...hopefully :)

[@davidconnary7526]

Just put it in the ground and water, my neighbor has his garage covered in it, all down the fence row choking out every thing in its path, the hardest part about growing passion fruit is keeping it under control.

[@koicaine1230]

Ugh, I'm on my second round of seeds and no luck yet. I soaked and scarified them, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@StorySeenBeta]

Tip for getting more juice: Let the fruit ripen! The outside should be very wrinkly all around. Then it will be *filled* with juice. (the purple variety anyway) You're welcome!

[@golfgirl000]

Well I bought a fruit at a local huckleberries thinking it was a plum! When I finally broke it open I almost took it back in thinking it was a dried up rotten something! Lol I think I'll give this a try ..

[@BradsGreenhouse]

lol, now that is a funny story, they would look very rotten inside if you thought it was a plum

[@danielhall1403]

Do you still have one of these.

[@phuocminhbui]

Whe we can harvest fruit?

[@paescalante]

Hi Brad, did you get fruits on this?

[@LK-3000]

You soaked them for a week?! Maybe that's why I don't have any sprouts. Wow. Okay, thank you for that information. I'm going to try again!!

[@MrJamescleary01]

I have a question about passion fruits in general and maybe multiple people can help with this. With fruits like mangos (which I am currently growing two healthy plants from seed for the root stock for grafting later) I know that store bought fruits have been so over-hybridized, that the likelihood of having an edible plant that produces acceptably tasty fruit is slim to none. I want to know about these less conventional fruits like passion fruit and dragonfruit (which I also have successfully growing of both red and white varieties). Will they produce fruit ultimately from the seeds of a store-bought fruit? Or can I expect the same outcome as my mango plants? Any help would be fantastic.

[@BradsGreenhouse]

James Cleary valid question, I would think that less mainstream fruits that come from areas outside |North America should be ok but cant say for sure. I had to stop growing this plant in my greenhouse. Each vine grew about 2' a week once it got going and was grabing onto everything this summer.

[@claudettefaglie957]

+James Cleary Passion fruit is usually grown in rows, and up on trellises, sort of like grapes. They plant rows, and rows of the same type. They need at least one other vine so they can cross-pollinate. I've never been able to get pollination from a single vine... no matter how many flowers it has. I expect that the passion fruit you buy at the store is grown this way too... so the seed would produce the exact type as the fruit you bought at the store. Just be sure to have at least two vines.

[@mamarhondasworld7104]

I only have one vine and got lots of fruit. I started mine from a cutting though. I just watched a video saying to hand pollinate the flowers of ones grown from seed. I just ordered some other varieties to try it. I love my passion fruit! ♡

[@hayktsaghkyan]

how many times passed for germination???

[@MrJohnyvo]

how long does it take the vine to produce fruit?

[@colbysmith4002]

michael vo under three months

[@liamcoldwell442]

I'm growing liliko passion fruit which is yellow

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Awesome, I saw a red one once... should have grabbed it :(

[@WAGgymSuperFan]

+Brads Greenhouse & Gardening the seeds are usually expensive but I found a pack of 5000 seeds for 5 bucks.

[@liamcoldwell442]

Update, now I have a passion purple, top died from winter, but bottom is lush

[@jost4318]

Plant the seeds fresh in the arils. Do not remove the pulp they should germinate within 2 weeks this way, otherwise you will probably only get about 50% germination unless you soak them in orange juice for a day or two before planting

[@remzatara]

how many deep you put the passion flower seeds under the soil ? any one can tell me pls. thank you

[@BradsGreenhouse]

Remigio Sacco I put just a few mm of soil back over them , so the seeds were just under the surface

[@MAnnielow]

Not so. I thought it wouldn't grow in the low lands too, but I bought a few seedlings and I had tons of fruits hanging from the pagola I erected for them. I live in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

[@matthewirvin6505]

I think your supposed to eat the skin or the white stuff 🤔

[@bobsutton5621]

Focus!

O substrato é inadequado, observe a dificuldade na emergência das plântulas. a germinação é irregular, germinação ocorrendo em diferentes tempos, as sementes de passifloras podem ser plantadas com ou sem arilo afilo e polpa e com ou sem previa desidratação, se for desidratada reidrate em solução nutritiva, o plantio em geral dá melhores resultados, quando se prepara o substrato e irriga, em seguida aba o fruto maduro sobre o substrato se for plantar com arilo afilo e polpa, em seguida coloque uma fina camada de substrato previamente preparado, e que facilite a emergência, no máximo 1 cm, pode colocar todas as sementes de uma passiflora mesmo em alta densidade, isto não tem efeito negativo na emergência e na taxa de germinação, cubra e irrigue com cuidado, pode manter na sombra ou no sol, com temperatura de 9 C a 42 C dentro deste intervalo de temperatura não houve diferença estatística na taxa de germinação, cubra o vaso com plastico transparente, irrigue 1 vez ao dia, no 5 ou 6 ou 7 dia, irrigue com solução nutritiva, se tudo for bem a germinação ocorre em 24 horas de forma homogênea, se passar deste tempo sua metodologia esta com problemas, neste tempo de 24 hs apos a indução definitiva, neste tipo de semente, a germinação precisa ocorrer em 24 hs. as mudas produzidas deve ter em media de 3 a 5 cm de altura. pode transplantar as mudas com cuidado para tubetes ou sacos plásticos com substrato apropriado. durante a germinação use apanas água, nao use solução nutritiva isto pode causar queima de radícula ou mesmo em sementes ainda nao germinadas pode levar a uma hibernação, nunca use papel para secar sementes, elas grudam e depois fica dificl e muito trabalho para separar semente de papel, use uma tela tipo sombrite fino ou um coador, abra o fruo ou frutos sobre esta tela e leve ao sol ou a sombra ate secar isto deve ocorrer em aproximadamente 3 dias, as sementes vao aderir a tela, basta pegar uma colher ou espatula e raspar todas as sementes se soltam rapidamente, economia de tempo, ou entao leve a uma estufa pra desidratar, reidrate em solução nutritiva imediatamente ou guarde as sementes como conservação, não é necessário lavar sementes de passifloras, arilo afilo e polpa não causam problemas para indução a germinação, não faça fermentação, semente de maracujá não tem dormência. ao menos não para 134 acessos diferentes de passifloras testadas e avaliadas. se a rota metabólica via nutrição com solução nutritiva for adequada ao acesso a germinação ocorre em tempo inferior a 8 hs. se for inadequado vai levar mais tempo. todas as passifloras testadas (134 diferentes acessos) germinaram em tempo inferior a 30 dias de forma natural, e em diferentes tempos, basicamente em função da metodologia, não é necessário regulador de crescimento para indução rápida a germinação em passifloras avaliadas e testadas, esta PE que você tem ja foi testada, ela também germina em tempo reduzido de tempo inferior a 8 hs. apos a germinação voce pode adubar levemente, um bom adubo é o BNPKH Bonnus NPK Haifa use 10 g/L água, 1 a 2 vezes por semana, deixe na sombra mas com bastante iluminação, elas podem crescer de 3 a 5 cm diariamente e na melhor possibilidade de 15 a 20 cm dia. desta forma você pode reduzir o tempo para plantio no pomar e tambem pode reduzir o tempo para inicio de safra de 3 a 4 meses em media. boa sorte.

[@suteners2111]

planted 10 seeds for 3 month now, no germination

That cracked me up.. yeah you basically have to eat the seeds and that's what it is. Hahahaha... I never knew that That's not a fruit then that's a seed... Also that looks incredibly gross. Also also thanks for the video I keep trying to grow these passion fruit seeds. They won't germinate.

[@sundaywhiterabbit7679]

I got zero germination. Nothing. Got them from a packet from the local garden center. Soaked them. Nothing. Kept them in baggies wrapped in wet paper towel....nothing. Planted seeds in good potting soil....nothing. Maybe I got a bad batch or it's old. Idk. I'm doing it wrong.

you can hand pollinate young plant flowers to produce fruit
