hi

can i have cutting of Parwal and Kantola.

Parwal looks great..Did you grow from the seeds? From where did you get the seeds? What's the best time to put the seeds into ground/container?

Journey_in_silence,

I grew these from seeds. Please refer to my post http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/1728413/parwal-how-to-tell-if-male-or-female

that details how to grow Parwal from seeds. In fact the 3 plants that you see in that post are what has multiplied over the years.

Parwal plants are male and female, and there is no way to tell them apart.

Thank you so much, xman for your response and the link. I read the link. Can I suggest you to make a video and upload on youtube for the detailed instructions you gave ? That will be very useful to many.. I tried searching vidoe after your reply - found a very little information.. In one of the vidoes they said, there are more MALE plants when you grow from seeds and so the best way to propogate parwal is through cutting or planing roots of the already grown female plants. Since you have made such a great progress in cultivating this plant, please think about propagating it further among the community. Again, thanks a ton for all your efforts.

journey_in_silence,

Thank you for your comments.

I did notice that there are more males than females when grown from seed. Last year I let a vine run on the ground and every 8 inches I buried part of vine (a node) in the soil. So this year, all those became new plants. One thing I noticed was that Parwal hate to be moved, sometime I have moved a plant from one location to another, and they hate it, usually dies down and only comes back the next year. But they are very hardy, and take a look at this video, it appears that they can be stored like bulbs and planted in spring.

They are easy to root in water, I threw about 20 cuttings into my pond, and in 2 weeks all of them have a lot of roots. Yesterday, I potted them in soil, let us see if they take. Its still a 100 degrees in TX, so I am not sure if they will make it. But currently I am travelling a lot, so do not have the time to take more care.

hi xman, I live in Dallas TX and would love parval cutting if you'd trade it in for snake gourd plant. I am a newbie to TX and just started my garden this year. Thanks!

Hi Xman,

. I live in Dallas. I would like to get stem of parval plant. Do you bring the plant indoor during winter?

Thanks,

DKV

Currently all the stems are dead, as we have had a few freezes in TX. The plants grow back from the roots in Spring.

DKV,

No, I do not bring the plants in during winter, the plants are planted in the ground, and the roots survive the winter. The plant dies down to the roots in Winter and comes back in Spring.

Thanks xman for your reply. Do you also have plants of kantola and timdora.

Thanks,
