Hi Eshwar

Can I have a tindora plant? I have been searching everywhere for one. I live in Atlanta. I can send a prepaid priority mail if you can send me your address. My emailid is
preetamenon03@gmail.com

Tindora seeds are available on Amazon.com, search for Ivy Gourd Seeds or Coccinia Grandis. I purchased the seeds for $6 with free shipping option, I received teh seeds from Thailand and also planted them in Pete pellets. My seeds germinated and I have two tiny plants now. I received 100 seeds for $6.

Surya0918,

I hope I am wrong, but I have the feeling that the seeds that you bought from Thailand are not the same as the tindora that has an Indian origin. Couple of years ago, I bought similar "Ivy Gourd Seeds or Coccinia Grandis" on ebay from a seller in Thailand. The seeds sprouted and the plants grew aggressively climbing over everthing. I had them for over 8 months but no flowers or fruit. They started growing over other plants I had choking them with their strong tendrils. The stems of these plants are like nylon wire, very strong. On doing research, I found that there are 2 or more types of Coccinia Grandis, and the tindora from India is called Coccinia Grandis Indica or something. Two totally different plants. The Coccinia Grandis is considered a weed in a lot of states, and is choking out a lot of native plants in Hawaii (google this).
Compared to this, the Indian variety is very mild and dies down in winter if you are not careful. Usually propogated only through roots and cuttings. I have tried seeds from the Indian tindora mutiple times, but did not get any to sprout. Very easy to grow from cutting, just put the cuttings in water and they will root in 10 days.

Hi Eswar.,

Feel lucky to come across your link after much surfing on how to grow Tindola . As I live in Wisconsin the only way to grow I understand is from a stem cutting and bring the roots in for winter. I know this would be a great hassle for you, but would you be able to share a branch with me. We have a decent size Indian community, and I might be able to share likewise with the enthusiastic gardners in the coming years. Your efforts and generosity will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Eswar

How do you take care of tindora during winter?

Do you keep the crown root covered with soil in pot or just air dry in plastic bag?

Shindeashish,

Although the question is directed at Easwar, I thought I will answer it (because the thread is 9 years old- LOL).

The care of the plant depends on where you live in the US. I live in the Northeast where the winters are brutal. So when the temperature dips to about 40degrees, I trim off all the foliage and new growth from this year. If there are any stems that are thicker than a lead pencil, I save them as cuttings to make new plants. I clean off the container any leaves, weeds etc. Then bring it indoors into the heated part of the house. I keep it in my basement (heated Portion) by a window where the plant receives some sunlight during daytime. The plant slowly goes into a dormant stage and I water it lightly every other week - until spring arrives next year!

I have been looking for Tindora plant/roots. I live in Vancouver, Canada. Can anyone help me?
