- Grwing Soursop / Custard Apple from seeds is quite easy all one has to do is follow a few simple steps. Patience is key in growing soursop trees from seeds and in due time it will bear fruit earlier than most other tree species.
Thank you for the tip! I am only 11 years. my sister and I are watching your videos so we can learn how to do gardening like our Lola. Thank you po
Planted some seeds a month ago and they are sprouting IM IN Houston Texas and hoping the thrive... thanks for the information must take them out of the direct sunlight... thanks for that tip
I'm also in Houston, how are your soursop seedlings doing? I am waiting for my own to sprout. 🙏🏽🤞
I was so excited to see after nearly 6 weeks 3 sprouts. I had them in a sunny window, after seeing this video, i shut off the sun. Thank you for the video.
Just harvest some seeds and I´m super excited!!!
Very informative. I have some soursop seeds in the kitchen and I'll be planting them in 2 days.Thanks for sharing. Bless x
thanks for the tips; I have a few seedlings which germinated and some are taking some time...i used recycled water/milk containers...
Simple and well illustrated video. Keep it up. God bless you always.
Thank you for sharing your experiences !
Thank you for this video. I'm eager to try growing this.
Thank you. I am growing soursop from seed in Thailand. Your advice is very helpful.
Happy gardening.
Thank you po my grandma who is Colombian is trying to grow soursop seed to have the fruit of her childhood, my mom who is Filipina get her seeds
Thank you for sharing and Happy gardening po.
Thank you! I am about to plant mine in a few seconds.
Thank you. Salamat po. Subukan ko.
Have learnt much from here and want to practice the farming. Expect more advise from you.
Thanks for sharing 👍 I appreciate it very much 🙏
Thanks for the info! I'm excited to start germinating my gathered guyabano seeds. This would be my first time to do so with this fruit. God bless po!
Good luck po.
Mine after the month is so small comparing to yours 😅 but I guess I should have no high demands, as I cultivate it in my room in middle of Europe and light it with plant bulb 🙂 nice video 👍
Ola I’ve been growing mine for over a year and it’s not even that tall
Thank you for posting this great video. When it is less than one year old, how often do you water the soursop?
Thank you. Salamat.
Thank you 😊 ,great video im new to your channel 😀 I enjoyed the first time you showed how to grow soursop in your country, I'll be waiting for your next videos.
Thank you and Happy gardening.
Thank you so much for sharing
Am going to buy dwarf guyabano instead of planting seeds it will takes so long , just for me only hehehe..nice video kua late grower
Thank you for sharing. This is one of my favorite fruits! I live in the U.S. and in my area we have all four seasons. Can I plant these seeds and will it survive winter?
Lots of good info. You are best
Thank you and Happy gardening.
Thanks so much. I am a neophyte with planting.
Thank you for this!
Good job 🎩
👍Great!
Thank you señor. 😀
I'm getting interested in planting. Thanks.
Thank you so much. I would really like to grow that tree in my backyard and a mango tree. God bless.
Ganda kabayan galing.
Salamat po and happy gardening.
Thank you
Thank you for the thorough explanation
You're welcome and happy gardening.
Thanks for sharing.
Watching fr japan
Thanks much po! Learned a lot!
Welcome po and happy gardening.
Great video and even better explanation. Well done sir .God bless you.
Salamat po. Nice video.
Salamat din po.
Excellent video, thank you very much for your informative and helpful presentation. May The Lord Jesus Christ bless you, Amen.
what do you fertilize with?
Great information. When do u recommend moving from container to soil? Or do you grow just in the container the whole time? 4 years starts to bear fruit great, how long is average lifespan and spacing need to grow in soil on mama earth? Again good video best one I've found so far.
You can transfer directly to soil after the seedlings have permanent leaves. Just put sticks or chicken wire around it to protect from pets. They are better grown directly in the ground for faster growth.
I like your video. Very informative. NOW I understand why my sour sop plant fails every time. Because I tried to plant in straight to the soil
Happy gardening.
Thanks for the video, i did mine all wrong lolzzz, i will get new seeds and try again.
Welcome and Happy gardening.
I germinated my seeds inside a ziplock bag and napkins. It took a long time but now they have sprouted 💞 🌱
Nice. Happy gardening.
How long does it take to grow fruit?
gosh in the first minute i saw what I did wrong.... I kept them out for about a week before trying to plant them. thanks, I'll try again
Fiona Grant yes there’s another video that says let them dry for 5 days. I think this method is better
Thank u
I planted some soursop seeds Someone wish me luck!
Good luck and Happy gardening.
When germinating seeds,
should the plastic container have holes at the bottom?
Hi Virginia, Yes must have holes.
Salamat Po!!!
Good day sir! Thank you for sharing your idea in planting fruits,medicinal plants,etc.
Sir I have a question, what will be the kind of soil to be used in planting the seeds of guyabano?
Is the ordinary soil enough to grow the seeds?
Thanks and God bless.
Any soil
Can I use compost
Just an observation, the tree that is exposed to the sunlight, could it be the soil you used? Because it is different soil than the tree in the shade... just an observation.
Hello, I like your tutorial on how to grow soursop seed. Am watching from Nigeria. I want to know if seeds kept for as long as 6month can still germinate if planted. Thanks
How long can it be mature and produce fruit?
thank you sir!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome and happy gardening.
What fertilizer did you say you use for the Soursop seedlings?
14-14-14
Sir anong fertilizer gamit niyo?
Thnks
Can I fruit the tree in the pot
This was very helpful information. The trees you grew look very healthy.
I am going to try to grow mines from seed. Please answer my question:
I need to know does it matter how you position your seed in the soil for it to grow! Or just lay it flat,or it does not matter,the seed will find it's way to the light?
Thank you for sharing.🌹
Hello Debra, Yes, it does not matter how you position the seeds. Just keep the soil moist and based on my experience sprout appeared after almost a month. Happy gardening.
@@LateGrower
Thank you!😊
Hello Late Grower! Happy new year! Thank you for this very informative and useful video. I transplanted my guyabano seedlings into 6-gallon pails just like in your video. They will be 1 year old in February. Is it OK to let them continue to grow and bear fruit in the same container? Or MUST i transplant them to a bigger container (i saw your other video recommending 30 gallon container)? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Yes, it must be transplanted to a lot bigger container to allow room for more and faster growth. If you have something even bigger with wide mouth like a cut out drum then much better. Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and your whole family po. Happy gardening.
@@donnaleedunuangobway6686 Complete fertilizer is what I usually apply when it gets past seedling stage. Dilute one to two spoonful of triple 14 in a gallon of water and apply about 150 ml of the same to the side of the container (away from the main trunk to avoid possible damage to main roots) then water to help the solution reach the lower roots. Fertilize once every 7 to 10 days. You can also add compost or vermicast once a month. When your tree reaches its third year, you can begin applying foliar fertilizer. The latter can help in even faster growth and also preparation for blooming on or about the fourth year. One thing I can share is to not water too often. Allow the top two inches of the soil to dry between watering. This will help prevent root rot of your Soursop tree. Hope this helps. Happy gardening.
@@LateGrower thank you once again for being so helpful and detailed. You are very generous. Really appreciate it. Happy gardening to us! Keep safe and healthy. God bless you and your family.
sir pwede ba muna sa.floral foam before sa soil?
Hello Late Grow, this is one of the best Videos about the rearing of guanabanas. Thanks a lot for this!
however, I have a few more questions. Which climatic conditions do you have regarding temperature and humidity?
Which Fertilizier do you use? I can't understand this in your vid.
Thank you very much🌱🙃
Hi Sepp Huaba, I am from the Philippines and we have tropical/humid climate here with temperature reaching as high as 104 degress farenheit (40 degrees celcius) during summer. When still young, guanabanas need to be in partially shaded area to protect it from the scorching heat of he sun. For germinating seeds, I use soil mixed with compost/vermicast(50/50). For fertilizer while growing I use triple 14 fertilizer. Thank you for your kind comment and hope you grow guanabanas successfully. Cheers.
Hi Late Grow,
thank you for your help.
In Germany, there is only a small selection of Tripple 14 fertilizers. Now I have bought one, a granulate, which, however, must be dissolved in water. The mixing ratio is 1-3 grams per liter of water. Now the question arises to me how often I should use this liquid fertilizer now. Can you please help me here? :)
Greetings from Munich
The fertilizer: Kristalon grün Calcium 14+14+14(+2):
14% total nitrogen
- 9.9% nitrate nitrogen
- 4.1% ammonium nitrogen
14% water-soluble phosphate
14% water-soluble potassium oxide
2% water-soluble magnesium oxide
6% water soluble calcium
Hi Sepp, Every once or two weeks is how I fertilize most of my plants but it would be better to make your own observation how they react to the fertilizer. If it is a guanabana seedling I start with a small dose of just four granules spread about two inches away from the trunk. This will make sure that your guanabana will not suffer from fertilizer burn. From thereon you can increase the application based on the reaction of your tree. If you're going to dissolve it in water, make sure that the solution is poured two to three inches away from the base of the plant. Always start with a small dose because you're using a chemical fertilizer.
Since you're from Europe, I'm sure you can also find there many organic fertilizers or at least a "slow release fertilizer." Slow release and organic fertilizers will not burn your plant roots so there is no problem with over-fertilization.
Hope this helps and good luck on your guanabana tree growing. Cheers!
When can you use the leaves of a sour sop tree to make tea?
Hi. The information in your video was very useful. Please how do you always ensure that your soursop young seedling in pots or polythene bags survives through the hot dry season when there's no rain? Though there are longer hot dry season in Africa (about 5 months) but, your information / method might help me a lot especially how to do watering in the hot dry season for its survival and whether to apply fertiliser during that season. Thanks
While still seedlings, they should be placed in a semi-shaded area that is protected from strong heat of the Sun. They can ideally be placed under a tree where they receive lots of morning and afternoon sun but safe from the heat of noontime. As for watering, I apply water only when the soil is really dry, like top two inches dry. Start fertilizing once a month or more frequently based on your observation when they already have true leaves like four to six leaves. They are best suited planted directly in the ground. But you can also grow them in big containers like a drum. Hope this helps. Happy planting. Cheers.
@@LateGrower I'm really grateful for your reply. I will do exactly as you've advised. But does that mean fertiliser application can still continue (occasionally) even during the 5 months of dry season when there is no rain?
@@vincentjiya5732 Yes, they need fertilizer since seedlings are in polybags and would rely on you to provide nutrition.
What's the best spray for the leaves to avoid flies n insect. Tnx
Thank you for sharing. This was informative. Now I know why my Soursop trees lose some of their leaves...too much sun.
Would it be possible for you to explain flower fertilization of the Soursop. I get many flowers but the fruits never develop.
There must be pollinators in your tree such as ants. If there are no natural pollinators around then "hand pollination" must be done. The flower starts off as female and then later becomes a male if not pollinated. What some growers do is to get the pollen from a male flower and rub it on a female flower using a small paintbrush. My Father's way back then was just to softly tap the back of the flower so the pollen drops on that round part in the center of the flower (This is what I do with almost all of my plants). Some flowers become fruit while others do not. Also, the age and size of your tree may also be contributing why flowers are dropping off. Sometimes they flower too early only to drop. Hope this helps. :)
In your case u need pollinators... If your place dont have much have ants.. Then the bees is your hope..if the ppol in your place have exterminated the bees and ants as a pest, then you need to educate your village. the fact that the flowers itself attracts ants especially the black ants.
thank you po!
Welcome po and happy gardening.
I have some seeds I’ve kept for a longgg time in a plastic bag. 😩 I’m soaking them now and gonna hope for the best.
Sa isang baso isang seed lang po ilalagay?
Paano po malalaman kung ang nabili kung seeds ay sweet or sour. Dalwang type daw po ang soursop isang maasim at isang maramis. Natikman ko na po ung matamis kaso galing pa sya ng new guinea, paano ko po malaman kung sa seeds pa lang
Ano po ang fertilizer na ginamit ninyo po? May guyabano seedlings na din po kasi ako.
Hello. I wanna ask if do u only put 1 seed per plastic cup or maybe you could put 3 to 4 seeds? Also, is it true that the seeds that have sunk in the water are those that should be planted?
Preferably only one seed per cup for easier transplanting. Yes, only those that sunk in water is considered viable but you can also try to germinate those that did not sink especially if there is no apparent damage on the seeds.
Hello sir. 1 month na po ung seedlings ko na guyabano. Bakit po pahiga ang direksyon nang mga punla ko?
I'm from europe. I cant find this fruit and growing it doesn't work beceause the weather is always bad. Any suggestions?
Ty brother
Welcome and happy gardening Bro
Kelan po pwede lagyan pataba sir? Gusto ko tumaba na ang stalk. 4 seedlings na kasi pinatay ng ibon
I planted a few and had them in the shade for the first week then placed them by the window for sun and after watching this im like ohhh noo I hope they are still good..Its been a few days in the sun. I just transferred them to a shady area and hope they are still good. What do you think ?
Once they have fully hardened they can be exposed to direct Sun.
Informative. What’s the proper plant spacing?
If planted on the ground, should at least be three meters apart.
Hi when I pick a lot of the leaves will more leaves grow
Yes
What about other annonas?
Hi, great advice! Please give the name or numbers of fertilizer you use. Thank you!
Triple 14 fertilizer.
Sir do you have a video of planting an ATIS seeds?
Wala pa po. Hayaan nyo in the future ay gagawin ko.
Hello po. Is it possible for guyabano in pot to bear fruits? I just moved my guyabano in a pot and I saw on your video that you put them in a big pot.
Yes, it is possible. The bigger the pot, the better.
Hi. I planted about 20 seeds and 10 sprouted but none have leaves. Its just a pointy stem. Are they damaged?
Hello, Just wait for them to further grow and open leaves.
sir do you think it can possibly bear fruits even when it's planted in a bucket?
It can if it is a really large bucket like a drum.
Is it okay to plant the seeds directly after I got them from the fruit
Yes, just fully clean the seeds to remove fruit's flesh to prevent ants and other insects form eating it. Happy gardening.
Sir pwede po bang mag graft sa puno ng soursop ng sugar apple o puno ng sugar apple mag graft ng soursop? Nag ka chance po ako na makakain ng soursop na galing papua new guinea galing sa friend ko at sobrang tamis, ng makita ko sa youtube mukhang pwedeng igraft itong dalwang frutas na ito, nag ka idea ako baka kaya matamis eh dahil sa graft ng dalwang frutas na ito. Pwede po ba iyon sir? Never pa po ako makatikim ng guayabano na sobrang tamis, galing pa sa friend ko. Pls reply sir
Pwede po ba sya i cut para maging bonsai? :)
What fertilizer did you use??? Thanks
14-14-14 fertilizer also called complete fertilizer while they are still in the seedling stage. After transferring them to permanent containers or direct to the ground, I fertilize with Urea and triple 14 fertilizer.
Good day, please I licked my seed, before I realized I could plant them, my question here is will they still grow due to saliva coming in contact with the seed, or should I just look for new seeds, thank you.
It wont matter. Just plant the seeds and wait for them to germinate.
What fertilizer do you use?
while growing, fertilizer high in nitrogen is better but only in small doses and intervals of every two weeks.
Still waiting for mine to germinate, though I put a couple of seeds in at a time. Will probably replant when they start to germinate. It's about 2 and half weeks now. I have not been watering regularly though...🙄
Hello Charles, I just keep the soil moist to hasten germination. Good luck on your Soursop growing. Cheers!
Hi, The guyabano tree I can grow in United Kingdom?
It can go ahead ma'am
if it's having trouble getting rid of the seed shell, do I water it?
Just let it be. Sprout will find its own way out.
@@LateGrower Ok I will, thank you
Hi,when you soak the seeds on water did the seeds float or sink?
when i soaked mine in water the seeds floated
@@jnori55 Mine too and as i know the one that float will not germinate
greetings, late grower! may I ask where I can get soursop seeds from? I'm from Canada and have had a difficult time to search for good seeds, any suggestions would be helpful, thank you
Hello Wayne, I would prefer to just buy Soursop fruit and germinate the seeds.
Nations if you live in the GTA.
soursoup can be grown in containers?
Yes, but must be grafted and in big containers.
