Growing a passion flower yourself - step-by-step instructions
Growing a passion flower yourself is actually not that difficult. Maybe it works for you and you create a much nicer variety than the one you already have at home. If you want to give it a try, you should do the following:
- You need two different passion flowers. Cut off the stems from one. At the end are the yellow pollen, which are very easy to recognize due to their color. Do not grab the pollen with your fingers, use tweezers.
- Now you have to pick up the yellow pollen with the tweezers and dab it onto the white stigmas of the second plant's flower.
- You must now wrap this flower in a plastic bag. Over the next few weeks, a fruit will develop that will carry the seed with the new hereditary traits.
- You need to dry and keep this seed safe until next summer. Only then can you sow it.
With a bit of luck you will get a completely new variety that you can then give your own name to. Just try it. You can never have enough of these flowers at home. After all, they can also be used as medicine. The leaves are said to help with anxiety, nervousness, restlessness and sleep disorders.
