Welcome to Farocean’s Garden. I’m a morning-glory lover and growing more than 40 varieties of Japanese morning glories every year. I love to share their photos and tips about how to grow them on my Instagram. In this video, I’m going to show you how to start morning glory seeds.

If you don’t have grow lights, you may start your seeds two weeks after the last frost.

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!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.
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
i have the morning glories it bloom and lot of flower suddenly their leaves become yellowing whats the reason for this or any remedy
How do you grow heavenly blue morning glorys
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?
thank you so so much! starting my seeds now.
This was super helpful!!
Just osm 👌👌👌👌
Can you just pot them directly into the soil?
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
How do you make your trellis's
Plant in paper cups, morning glories do not transplant well, you will set them back if you plant in plastic and disturb the roots.
When it starts blooming?
Really informative video, thanks
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.
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?
Thanks for making this video! It was very informative and it seems like you put some real effort into it!!!
When do you fertilize ?
Do you have cameo
Excellent job! Great work!
How many seeds recommended in red cup since they don’t like to be crowded?
Do you plant more then 1 plant in the larger pot?
@3:37
"after this operation it will germinate…. or die"
lol, got a chuckle out of me
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?
That was very informative, Thank you very much..🙏
This is very helpful because I am a killer of all flowers and plants
GREAT, PRECISE, AND INTERESTING.**
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.
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. 😭
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.
It's all OK ,, Until the rabbits eat them off…
🙏🏾
how do you keep seeds, I found one in the wild and need to store them until spring
Very nice
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.
Very beautiful bed seeds
Wow so much great info!!!! Looking forward to trying this these summer in MN
i kinda just nick them wit h sicors i got lucky to not damage any
Very Pretty! I planted some of these morning glory for the first time this year. I can wait to see them bloom! Thanks for sharing! I garden and make garden videos too if you'd like to connect and learn from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels!
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.?
I grow morning glory in the ground I have a very tall fence
thanks for the video. my morning glories are 3 days old, when when can I move them to full sunlight
?
