A plant and gardening channel for everyone. I’m a creative person that has become obsessed with growing rare, unusual, odd, and endangered plants. Hoyas and rare fruit trees are just a few of favorite plants to grow. Currently I live in Los Angeles, but plan to make the epic journey to Hawaii to establish a farm that will be an oasis for unusual and odd edible plants and houseplants. This is a channel about weird and cool fruits and plants, pretty or freaky plants, like Hoya, orchids, aroids, begonias and epiphytes as well as how to connect with nature. Advice is all personal and from my own experiences. Please like and subscribe and share my videos in the hopes of making this hobby a full-time job. Stayed tuned for for info about our farm called Honomu Tropical Farm, a farm for endangered plants. We hopefully will provide tours once we are operational.
Passiflora vitifolia taste test - How amazing is this rare passion fruit?
Passion fruit come in many different flavor profiles, some are amazing and some are disgusting, or at least insipid.
I've been growing several varieties lately to test more of them out that will grow in my climate. Several years back I planted Passiflora vitifolia because of it's gorgeous and amazing bright red flower (video coming soon on how to pollinate it)! I finally figured out how to pollinate them properly and got tons of fruit this year so I wanted to do a taste test...
This passion fruit is a MUST to grow if you like well behaved passion fruit vines that only need moderate watering, can take SoCal winters and SoCal summers, produce bright red stunning flowers, and have soft velvety leaves... and to top that off, end up producing an edible fruit. It's a win, win, win win situation.
Come join me as I taste the first ever fruit of the vine in my yard...
Please like and subscribe to my channel so I can grow and continue to bring you informational videos about tons of rare plants. Many more coming soon!

I hate all mosquitoes... Except for these... Did you know some of these little a holes actually pollinate flowers? Out of 3500 mosquito species. Almost all male mosquitoes help pollinate flowers. And it's only about 3% of the mosquito species that have the biting females that carry disease. That's only about 105 out of 3500 Now, we have every reason to hate those 105 species that bite us. But t...

Tasting Annona reticulata 'Sân Pablo' - does it really taste like raspberry yogurt or like dirt?
Which ones taste like coconut? I am growing 3 different yellow varieties, hope to taste them soon.
Sounds like a winner! The mini watermelon looking fruit is neat. I imagine it adds a decorative touch after blooms end. One of the many passion fruit plants I plan on getting when I can convince my mother that they are delicious. Still starting out with annonaceae and myrtaceae families first…along with store fruits…I did finally make a purchase a couple weeks ago. Still waiting on fulfillment. But super stoked! Starting my list for my next purchase early, since I take so long to decide…
I have a small vine of vitifolia that fell off my table in a pot and I didnt see it and I thought it died. I have nursed it back to health and it is growing new green vines. I hope to get flowers next year. I also have passiflora phoenecia "ruby glow" and I hand pollinate it using caerulea as well. I am not a huge fan of the fruit. I am going to try it again this year. I have passiflora decaisneana blooming and I am testing self pollination and pollination using caerulea. I am curious to how that fruit comapres to phoenecia. Lastly, I hand pollinated passiflora etna with caerulea and while it set fruit, I did not like it one bit. I love trying out new types. I see you are wearing a California shirt. I am in SoCal zone 10b trying out over 15 types of passiflora :)
Oh, that is so cool. What area since it zone 10b? I’m in 10a so I have a little bit less or fewer options. What’s your favorite tasting one then? So far mine has been Passiflora laurifolia or however, you spell it, it reminds me of sweet coconut water. I can usually only get it when I’m in Hawaii and I wish I could grow out here but of course I haven’t been able to, but I heard that P feotida or how do you spell that one also taste like coconut so I’m looking forward to tasting those. Would love to buy seeds for me of ones that you really like the taste of. Glad you’re able to get the vitifolia back up and growing
Finally! Yay!
No idea what it is yet but congrats! 🎉
Thank you! 😁 it’s a very tasty rare fruit that I’ve been wanting to try for a decade!
Adorable
That's amazing!! I planted a few in my yard people told me they would never grow it's doing fine. Also have a big Abiu in the ground that survived a few winters now
@@alexcontreras6103 no way! What area are you in and what are your temperatures like? I’ve tried to grow abiu and it just never worked, always died
@@FancyPlants Chula Vista, I grow it near a wall. I had about 30 seeds and all of them died except this one that I had for a few years now. It's growing fine especially right now. But I do protect it every winter with some clear green house plastic just incase
Do i hear a hint of dk rap
That's sad, you're going to have to put a mesh or screen structure around them to keep the thieves and pests away from them.
At least I now know not all of this species are little hellspawns
Exactly 😂😂😂❤️❤️
Is this a regular Clemensiorum that's been super sun stressed?
Hi there. Nope it’s a special one that stays red even in low light. I have a purple one as well that does the same thing. The only problematic thing is they are very, very slow growers, but sometimes that’s good since these often times get out of hand.
Ordered some olosapo seeds from Raul in mexico just two weeks ago. Excited to see they grow well.
Oh, that is exciting, I hope they grow well for you. We’re just about to go into a four day heat spell with temperature is over 100°F so I hope that doesn’t fry the blooms.
did you do a group buy
How do I make mosquito bits/dunks
I don’t believe you can make them, but only buy them. The key ingredient is a special bacteria that they add to the bits.
Where can I buy a good size starter plant for this purple one? Thank you.
Hey thats mean im just hungry
It’s true and I know. I vacillate from being very mad at you too complete understanding. That’s why I protect as much of my fruit as I can so you get to have some and I get to have some but when you eat all of it and I get none that’s when we’re going to have words
I made covers of 1/4 " garden mesh and drilled a few holes to attach it with zip ties. This keeps birds and pets safe. However, I did not see a noticeable reduction in mosquitos
I just got one for $6 thank you for the tips
Oh, that is awesome and that is also a very good price
Same issue
I’ve now discovered this plumbers putty product, I’d have to go look at the bottle to give you the name, but it has resolved a lot of issues. In fact, it might just be called plumber’s putty or something? It basically looks like wet blue goop with all these bits in it, but that has definitely stopped the leaks
I will do this and a bug zapper in each opposite corner
Do you where can I buy the plants in US?
i never heard anyone eat them with sugar, always with salt instead
I had the same problem with ripe passionfruit, but i couldn't be sure if it were rats, bats or any other small mammals.
Rats ate 20 of my cantaloupes this season. I’ve heard leaving out shredded irish spring bar soap repels them. Make sure to put it in Tupperware containers because you don’t want soap in your soil!!! Comment below with your favorite anti-rat methods (;
Great video as usual Kelly! Very informative
Thanks! Glad you like it. Hopefully I’ll be coming out with one for rats soon.
And find black containers plus put a screen on the container to protect the pets.
Black Tea does the same job on mosquito larvae.
Do the rice husks have a lot of arsenic in it like rice does?

This works but the problem is everyone lives on top of each other and not everyone is doing it.
they needed a face lift.
You use the polen to polinated from one to another one? Thx
Just going to ask what if a deer finds it and wants a drink ?? 😅 good to know. I recently found out dragon flys are good exterminators 5 adults can take out out up to 10,000 mosquitoes a day. I started planting flowers to attract them and I’ve been bitten less. But now I’ve a new problem swarms of giant dragon flies so maybe don’t listen to me.
Just saying, dragonflies don’t eat that many, but they do eat a lot. A realistic number for 5 would be anywhere from 400-1000 per day
Where can I find reliable tutorials on how to grow our own vegetables from scratch for someone with zero information on the topic? My mom is getting into it and I want to help her with it
That’s an excellent question and I know there’s a lot of people that kind of have accounts for beginners. I would have to go in and research some for you. I do a little bit of everything for beginners, intermediate and advanced. Is she on social media where she could go and hunt some of those People that specialize in gardening?
I used a dunk in a container full of larva a few years ago. They did not die, even after 1-2 days. It was a new dunk.
No way! I bet all of the bacteria in the dunk was already dead due to issues of it being shipped during the warehouse or something. Cause I’ve done a few videos of this this summer and usually within 16 hours everything is dead if there’s bacteria in the bit or dunk. Are you willing to try again?
How long for it to fruit from seed?
Awesome video! Can you do a video on how to stop Rats, possums, & squirrels from biting/eating fruit in our trees.
Love it and will do. I have some good information about it, but unfortunately, some of it involves exclusion, which doesn’t hurt the animal but then when it comes to things like rats, you sometimes have to control their populations. I’ll work on that next. Thanks for the suggestion!
There are many different cultivars of red pitangas and some are excellent with a peach flavor but I agree that the black varieties like Nelson Westree's 369 is also excellent. Regarding E. aggregata, which I grew for 20 years in Orange County, CA, I read that it will set fruit only with a heavy rain a week before
Sorry ya lost so many plants to animals. Hopefully you find some of those plants again someday. Having a hard time deciding what seeds to select on Bellamy trees, but hopefully I’ll have a few fun things from them soon to join in on the unusual and rare trees. Growing a bunch of seedlings from fruit I got at various supermarkets like jackfruit, cherimoya, soursop, sugar apple, star fruit, some citrus and some others…workin on some pomegranate and paw paw too, but I want to grow some rarer stuff too. This info about the raccoons I think will help me out a lot. You gonna try to replace some of the trees you lost, or are ya gonna wait till next season to check?
I think I’ll be more selective in what I get from now on and instead of getting 100 at a time, I’ll get a manageable amount and grow them out. I know what you mean by having a hard time selecting what to get especially from Bellamy. if you need any suggestions, let me know. Where are you grinding your stuff out? I’m assuming somewhere warmer if you’re able to find all that stuff at supermarkets? Thanks for watching the video by the way!
@@FancyPlantsmakes sense. Don’t wanna overdo it. That said, I have no chill and wish I could grow them all. Hahahaha! I’m in Eugene Oregon. Was in Ojai California till last year this time, but most of the fun fruits I bought here. Just found some mangosteen, longan, lychee, fresh rambutan, passion fruit, white thai guava, and some other fun stuff to try. I’m always down for suggestions, if they’re within my budget. And of course! Found ya when I was lookin into eugenias, psidium, Plinia, annona, duguetia and such. Saw some of your collection and tasting videos and was convinced I need to get some of them. Was already into the annona family. But I quite enjoyed the videos so far. Haven’t watched most of the Hoya videos yet but those look fun!
I've been making these Buckets of Doom for the last 2 years. Mosquitoes circle around the buckets, so I know they're probably laying their eggs there. No larvae in the buckets. However, the mosquito issue is roughly the same. As the video says, I'm probably getting them from my neighbors
Containers should be black to give them an appealing dark space
How often are you adding new mosquito bits?
Did you ever try putting check valves on your actual line somewhere between the valve and the sprinklers? I believe check valves stop water from going backwards in the line.
Lol.
Glad you are okay! 😊 also hope you can recover from so much damage done 😄
Thoughts and prayers really matter in these trying times. I’ll probably have to start a GoFundMe. Thanks for the kind words 😎
I have subscribed and i love your hoyas. Like your Macrophylla 'Pot of Gold', i too have some hoyas that wouldn't grow. They just remain like that for ages. What should i do?
