So Excited

My Passiflora antiquoensis seeds are starting to germinate! Well two of them are so far. I planted them about 10 days ago and have them on a seed mat. I hope the others germinate soon. I still have P. vitifolia seeds sprouting after a month. My P. alata seeds have yet to do anything and they were planted a few months ago. I haven't written them off yet but am kind of doubtful that they will germinate. Most of the alata cuttings are doing very well as are a bunch of other cuttings. My amethystina seedlings have gotten big and have multiple stems. The vitifolia seedlings are still quite small. They look healthy enough but are growing at a much slower rate than my others. I was surprised because my mature vitifolia grows like a weed. I really hope that I can grow the antioquensis to blooming size. It has such a beautiful flower.

If they were in TX I'd let you know but I will tell you how they do in MD. lol They should do well outside here late April through June and will have to go in the greenhouse in July and Aug to avoid the heat then back outside for Sept and Oct then back in the GH for the winter. It sounds like a pain but I'll do just about anything to get them to grow & bloom. The antioquensis is one of my favorite passies.

You might try keeping the seeds completely dark for the first 1-2 weeks, then moving them into the light. I'm in an apartment in DC and have always had success using this technique. This plus bottom heat should work with no problem.
