Passiflora ligularis
Sweet Granadilla - Grenadilla seeds

Passiflora ligularis, the sweet grenadilla, comes from the Andes between Bolivia, Venezuela and Colombia. The seeds are surrounded by transparent, jelly-like, orange-colored cellulose. The pulp with the seed is the edible part of the fruit and has a soft, sweet taste. It is very aromatic and contains vitamins A, C and K, phosphorus, potassium, iron and calcium.

Use Jiffy peat swell pots for sowing, let them swell in water and put them in a plastic pot. Alternatively, a commercially available sowing substrate can also be used.

Spread a few seeds on the peat well and cover thinly with the sowing substrate (about 2 mm).

Then place the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - for a pot size of 6 cm, a zip-lock bag size 120 x 170 mm is recommended. Pour water with a few drops of universal fertilizer into the zip-lock bag so that a few mm of water remain after the substrate has been vacuumed up.

Location: on the window sill or in a mini greenhouse in partial shade, during the day the temperatures should be around 24 - 28 C, at night a little lower at 20 - 24 C.

Price is for 8 seeds
