My MG winter strategy: Germinate in a damp paper towel in a ziplock baggie for 2-3 days in the dark, fill some jello shot cups (puncture a few holes around the bottom sides of the cups, plant the germinated seeds shallow) with worm castings, put them under a grow light in a tray, and water them all by watering the tray so they get their water from below not above. When they start growing normal leaves after their cotyledons, move them to a 1/2 gallon pot where they will live for the winter, and DIY some trellises that fit the pots with wire coathangers and string.

"after this operation it will germinate.... or die"
lol, got a chuckle out of me
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for making this video! It was very informative and it seems like you put some real effort into it!!!
thank you so so much! starting my seeds now.
Wow so much great info!!!! Looking forward to trying this these summer in MN
Excellent job! Great work!
Sweet! Thank you for your video and information! So before your video I planted 100 or more by information on package of morning glories. Now they are inside thanks to you! It is still cold outside being on the eastern northern area aka MA
That was very informative, Thank you very much..🙏
This was super helpful!!
Very clear and helpful!!! Thank you!!! 😍👏💖🌸
Really informative video, thanks
Very beautiful bed seeds
This is very helpful because I am a killer of all flowers and plants
Great video!!
They are wonderful. I can't wait to grow mine. Thanks for sharing!!!!! :) :)
I soak my seeds overnight like the package says. Then plant in big pot-( one package seeds per pot) . Mine are actually on the north side of the house, but get a bit of east and west exposure. Climb the trellis that holds the roof for our front door. I save seeds but sometimes buy new ones. I saved a lot of purple ones about 4-5 years ago and they still sprouted.
Have you notice that the purple ones tend to over take the other colors? Like germinate faster and crowd out the others? Mine do.
Thank You! I was wondering how many seeds per pot
GREAT, PRECISE, AND INTERESTING.**
Very nice
I have just learned that a lot of leaves means that your soil is too rich. Morning Glories, surprisingly, like poor soil. I had a healthy crop of leaves last year with some nice blooms but my friends from India where these are native, grow beautiful plants with lots of blooms, in the worst places. Live and learn. They are not high maintenance.
Except for water
Thank you for that information. I just purchased my first package of Morning Glory Grandpa Ott seeds today to place in my pollinator garden. I was surprised that only one plant, at 4:33, grew so large. I was wondering how many plants to have in one container. Looks like only one will work just fine. Will a regular tomato cage work as a trellis or will I need to add an extension to that? I'm in zone 6b/7a with a last freeze date the same as yours, so I'll start my seeds next week.
Just osm 👌👌👌👌
Thank you. Have you ever taken the small plants and cut the bottom off the cup and planted the cup, So as to not disturb the small plant.?
Thanks for showing us your way, ive got some seedlings mixed up so i needed to identify them by seeing your seedlings ,i now know which is which now as morning glories look like butterfly wings first off, lesson is always label your seedlings properly.
Greetings fom Wales UK funny thing is i have a friend in Michigan lol, Ive liked and subd you might wish to try my channel for a mixed bag of stuff maybe pass me onto friends out there that are into same stuff as me and thats all sorts as you will see lol
Take care. Ant.
Thank you for the informative video! I purchased your seeds and they are blooming just as pictured. However, I would like to know if you supplement the growth with any fertilizer? I assume low or no Nitrogen? Do you pinch the tips to create more bushy plants?
Lastly, what is the largest blooming variety you grow? Please make more videos showing the varieties you mention.
Morning glories love phosphate fertilizer. I put a link of bloom booster flower food in description. I do pinch the tips to create more branches at the beginning. But they can grow branches by themselves as well if you don't pinch them. Many Japanese varieties have 5-6 inch flowers. The largest one I grow is "Peach blush". Those huge flowers are as big as my face :)
Hi. Amazing Flowers❤ but i have a question. When the Morning Glory start to have seeds for us to collet? Thanks
I just ordered mine today and can’t wait to receive them for my mom bc I couldn’t get here anything for Mother’s Day so i order one of these for her
how do you keep seeds, I found one in the wild and need to store them until spring
I live in Chandler Arizona and it's warm here. Is it a good time for me to just plant them straight outside ? Or can I just put the seeds straight on to the soil outside? Which is best for this weather? I was told to start now but I have done that in the past and don't succeed. 😭
I grow morning glory in the ground I have a very tall fence
Use peet pots to start your seedlings, that way you don't have to disturb the roots when transplanting.
PEAT
mold
@@notez420_ Do you mean the Peet pots will mold?
I love my morning glories! it thrills me see my harvest of seeds this year, my first year of taking it really seriously.. I wish I could post a picture comment to show my fence, It was a pretty big display.
Did you know the seeds contain LSD-A?
I harvested about 80g worth of seeds , a nice fat envelope, and going to hold for next year to plant some, and hope I find a link of a pharmaceutical company making microdoses out of the useful drug element :D
I just started gardening and whatnot, anyways when I transfer it outdoors should I add some compost or manure to the soil? Also do I add flower food when it starts to flower or right when i plant it?
That would be great if you add some compost when transfer it. and then add fertilizer every 2-4 weeks.
A bit unrelated, but is it normal if they flower at a very early stage? I planted some Japanese morning glories a few weeks ago. Currently, they have 4-6 leaves and I can see small flower buds forming at the very tips. I was surprised to see them because they're still so smol
it's normal but I usually cut the flower buds off when they're still seedlings and let them focus on developing roots and leaves.
@@farocean111 Do you know how to guarantee early flowers?
Hi ...where can i get that pale pale pink morning glory i saw in this vid??...Thanks
I'll release it on my Etsy shop this fall. www.etsy.com/shop/FaroceansGarden?ref=l2-shopheader-name§ion_id=28647718
When do you fertilize ?
Do you plant more then 1 plant in the larger pot?
I plant a whole pkg in a 10x12” pot.
🙏🏾
I could not get my kiko snowflakes to grow. This will be my second summer attempt.
I'd like to know if they can handle direct afternoon sunlight...? We're in zone 7b where it's hot and humid. About anything we've tried to plant on the west side of our house burns up due to heat intolerance. I know that Morning Glories like full sun and they'll produce more blooms if they have direct sunlight, but that afternoon sun can be brutal.
However, anywhere that gets morning sun is shaded by lunch time, so I worry that the east side won't give enough light.
Anyone have experience with these in several hours of direct afternoon sunlight?
Mine sprouted and are about 3 to 4 inches tall but don’t seem to be sending any climbing shoots out. Anything I can do to help them climb?
Patience grasshopper, patience.
How do you grow heavenly blue morning glorys
the same way :)
How many seeds recommended in red cup since they don’t like to be crowded?
you can do two and divide them when transplant them to a bigger container.
last year i planted them indoor then transplanted them out, they did not bloom until fall which was killed by frost. I started the seedlings in may after frost was gone. Why it bloomed so late?
Was it's foliage too much? Your soil could be too rich in nitrogen, even if there's a good chunk of phsophate.
Plant in paper cups, morning glories do not transplant well, you will set them back if you plant in plastic and disturb the roots.
I have not found that to be true and I've been growing them for over 20 years.
How do you make your trellis's
I use trellis net. you can find the link in the video description.
Can you just pot them directly into the soil?
yes
yes but they're less likely to germinate. The shell can be tough to break that's why you have to soften it first by soaking or as explained in this video
thanks for the video. my morning glories are 3 days old, when when can I move them to full sunlight
?
My first attempt i failed miserably!!i don't know what i did wrong but nothing grew!!
What is the size of
Do you have cameo
When it starts blooming?
They can bloom 1 month after germinating.
I have planted red-whit-blue morning glories but they failed to produce any flowers, though they've grown above my garden fence. Someone told me i made a mistake by fertilizing them several times. They said I only encouraged the plant to more leaves, instead of flowers. Ia that right? Now It's the end of August. Maybe they will produce flowers but the first frost will be arriving bin a few weeks. I set out some traps and a caught one rat (I live in the city). Two nights later I caught the culprit who was eating my zucchini--- a young SKUNK--he caused an uproar and a smell that reached my neighbors, I didn't have the hearty to kill the poor thing -- finally my son was brave, took a broom handle and opened the trap. The poor skunk did not spray again, but merely looked a bit dazed before shooting out the back gate and we all laughed! I called the Dept. of Natural Resources and they said that small animals like raccoons and skunks feed at night--and some carry a dangerous virus that is spreading westward from the forests of Pennsylvania. So beware and wear gloves and wash you hands!
Too much nitrogen can cause lack of flowers. Try to use phosphate fertilizer :)
To have red white + blue morning glories all blooming by the 4th of July *sigh* that would be heaven 🌺
It's all OK ,, Until the rabbits eat them off...
