| In my experience this is a very easy one to germinate. About 90% came up for me. Any light soil will do but give them a lot of heat and don't let the soil dry out. It will usually self-pollinate too so you should get plenty of fruit. |

| I've used anything from seedling mix to just plain dirt from the yard. The big things as Myles said are water & heat. Don't let 'em dry out but don't drown them either. Passies can take anywhere from a week to over a year to germinate. About 3 days after you recycle the dirt... That's when they'll sprout. All the sudden you have a bunch of seedlings... And absolutely no idea what they are. Or the name has worn off the tag. I guess the bottom line is this: Never give up on 'em. |
