I have a clipping that I have gotten to root a little and I wonder if I should just leave it longer, plant it in a pot or plant it in the ground (Dec?)?
What kind of soil does a perennial morning glory need?
Keep it in a pot untill spring... Indoors..then plant it outside..After that ..the winter will not bother it..it will dye off..but come back up again the next spring..but you cannot start it outdoors in the winter.. The soil itself..I grow mine in Florida sand..with A little potting soil mixed..But you cant start it outside now..simply keep in a pot indoors..with 12 hours of light source...Flourescent light will be plenty for it for the winter...as long as the temperature is at least 60 degrees...A cold frame will not work right now if it is still cold..it will fade away..I grow my herbs etc and start new plantings under flourescent grow lights
Reply:Where are you? If your ground is frozen or soon will be, I'd pot it and keep it in a cold frame over winter. Problem is it's been warm and now you want to truck it outside. Poor thing. If you had a green house I'd say gradually cool down the container %26amp; root to where it can overwinter and then bring back next spring.
I'm just afraid you won't be able to keep it going all winter indoors.....what do you think? That might work if you grow it cool.
As for soil, they do want it super rich, just a typical garden soil, well drained, is ideal.
Reply:If you have even one seed I wouldn't worry about it as these things can grow in concrete. Stick it in a pot to keep it alive and plant it after the last frost in your area next spring - and then keep a very keen eye out for little ones popping up literally everywhere.
