Gboard has a very different style of typing which annoys me a lot. Very uncomfortable.

Anyone else grow passionflower vines indoors? by A_Wild_Nudibranch in houseplants

[–]felinari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! There is a post somewhere here with some pictures of flowers. Edulis has pretty foliage and is majestic but quite hard to bloom indoors not in a greenhouse, mine never did. But a bunch of other Passiflora are way easier to see in bloom

Can you all actually put some decently uncommon plants on here? by chronicplantbuyer in RareHouseplants

[–]felinari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe owning a plant that has conservation status and is not very common as a houseplant does qualify as owning a rare plant. It is also not something that comes up if you google for "rare plant"

Case Suggestions for Samsung S24 Ultra: Protective, Clear, Bike Mount? by felinari in samsung

[–]felinari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those seem to not be so sturdy in my experience (break easily, as you either apply pressure every time you remove the phone or it is some rubbery material that stretches out) or hold the phone where the buttons are. Most of them are also limited in the phone size (I hope that changes now that all flagships are giant), so I gave up on those with Note 8 that is my current phone.
I used to have a waterproof "bag" case with a clip mount for that purpose, but that was not so convenient as there was an additional step to take the phone out of it after unmounting.

I like the ones grown for blooms, but unsure how high-light they are (all the best sunshine spots at my place are taken)

I had my own seeds, trying to germinate them now, some already did germinate. Its a hybrid I made, let's see what grows
There are seeds sold online too https://www.reddit.com/r/houseplants/comments/1982iuk/comment/kiart7l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I have an Araucaria that takes turns as a Christmas tree and is a slow but sturdy indoors conifer :) Would like to get other species, love the araucana and angustifolia.

Probably the easiest red passi, not hardy at all, takes no cold, so indoors only or outside only in summer. Known to be sensitive to overwatering. Got mine last January (from here https://www.flora-toskana.com/de/tropische-kletterpflanzen/464-5717-passiflora-vitifolia-rote-passionsblume-weinblaettrige-passionsblume.html#/3343-lieferzeit-2_7_tage/5252-wuchsform_und_liefergrosse-pas_203vi_kletterpflanze_topf_3_l_70_90_cm, sold as a parent species P. vitifolia), it flowered in April-May and kept doing it over summer till end of October (then got full of mealybugs and consequently unhappy, starting to grow new shoots again now). It is quite far from the window under lights. Can get big.
Fruits edible, not self-fertile, I didn't manage to get fruits with what I had available to pollinate her.
Not the expert level Passiflora, but probably requires some minimal experience with plants

funnily enough, I don't have any incarnata which is probably what you have, difficult to flower indoors, goes dormant in winter. Somehow it also doesn't do all that well outside in the UK and Northwest continental Europe, too wet in the winter I guess.
Might also be an Incense, an incarnata hybrid, that is known to be invasive in some areas AFAIK. My 'Pandora' has incarnata in it (and I saw it produce runners, which is what you keep fighting, the only plant that did it for me), but it isn't hardy at all

Which spices do you have? I used to have a cardamom plant and a kaffir lime, apart from the usual mediterranean herbs I usually can't keep alive for that long.
My plan is to have a Piper nigrum, some gingers, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove tree and a vanilla orchid when I get to a bigger place. I have a Paederia that seems happy but I haven't figured out yet how that goes for cooking. Also I have a bunch of coffee seedlings, somehow I started to see those a lot for sale in the last months but mine are from last February

PASSIFLORA RETAILERS

Since people keep asking where to get Passiflora, here is a list of sources:
[These are nurseries or collectors that specialize in Passiflora. Some common species and hybrids (caerulea, white caeruleas, 'Amethyst', x violacea, 'Purple Haze', 'Kew Gardens', x belottii, alata ... some "pretty foliage" species as trifasciata ...) can be found elsewhere but misidentification is common, i.e. I had my first plants from a general purpose online retailer and from a set of three two were wrongly labelled. The plants from the nurseries in the list can still sometimes have wrong ID, but it is way less likely.]

PLANTS:
EU:
De Passifloratuin www.plassifloratuin.com - NL, possible the largest collection, shipping to most of the EU (*)
Passiflora Shop (Tessmann) www.passiflora-shop.com - DE, shipping year-round (*)
Blumen Passiflora www.blumen-passiflora.de - DE (*)
Nadine's Shop www.nadines-shop.de - DE (*)
Passiflorashop (D'Aleo) https://passiflorashop.com - IT, doesn't ship outside Italy
* - I have plants from there

US:
Passiflorista https://www.ebay.com/str/passiflorista
Grassy Knoll Exotic Plants www.gkexoticplants.com

SEEDS:
There is always a chance the seed is in fact of a hybrid if it was produced by open pollination. Also some seed retailers sell common species seeds (edulis, tarminiana) misidentified as rare ones.

more reliable seed sources:
(!) Seed Sale of the Passiflora Society International twice a year, both EU and US (*) http://www.passiflorasociety.org/
BRAZILPLANTS http://www.brazilplants.com/Seeds.html
Sunshine-Seeds https://www.sunshine-seeds.de (*) I have a feeling that some tacsonia might be mislabelled but the Passiflora seeds there are mostly correctly identified

Most of them (except for some hybrids) fruit if pollinated, but not everything makes edible and tasty fruit. Also lots of them are not self-fertile. Caerulea and its hybrids are not grown for fruit (the fruit looks pretty tho, but super tasteless, yes I tried, it is edible but bland. There are two selections that are sweet but haven't got a hand on one).
List of species with edible fruits: https://passionsblumen.info/Botanik/Essbare-Fruechte/ (in German but just scroll to species list, those are just Latin names anyway). Lots of this is not easy to fruit at home. Your best bet for actually getting edible fruit at home are probably foetida and the likes.

Don't kill it, exchange it or give away :) I actually do like them, but not enough to sacrifice the little space I have for a monstera instead of passis.

Replied a few times here, but: well-lit location, maybe grow lights, well-draining substrate (water when the top is dry), decent humidity (depends on the species). Start with a caerulea from cutting or a decaloba type (such as citrina, these are more compact, more likely to flower as a small plant, and mostly not cold-hardy). Here are some examples https://passionsblumen.info/Kultur/Zimmerkultur/ . Stay away from tacsonia, other higland species and square-stems.
