Telfairia pedata set three fruits I didn't think I had a male vine.Two vines one large female the other quarter the size .Can you show a photo? It’s very interesting to see it.
This Ebay Seller ships world wide.Thanks Cindy, I did not think of looking for an Australian ebay. This seller has a really good choice.✌

Growing in a pot might be a bit of a challenge this vine is massive I have a 2 year old female vine that is 6 inch thick supposed to reach 100 feet long.Telfairia pedata is much more aggressive growing than Telfairia occidentalis which I am growing now,and have fruited.The sizes are impressive! I have plastic barrels of 200 liters, maybe I'll try this. In my collection was Telfairia occidentalis from Cameroon, I lost a plant, I'm going to try again.
Seeds are up ,40% germ rate 2foot tall just check them and was surprised.Planted in ground.I want to grow it in a container. What do you think, what volume to use for cultivation?
Perlite is better than sand.I thought to do it in pure perlite, maybe I'll try it your way.
I prefer Perlite on the bottom and a little good draining potting soil on top.
I just use well draining potting mix in a small pot and dont over water.This is probably the easiest and safest way, I just thought that perlite would be a good alternative to sand, but before doing this I decided to find out if there were any positive results.
Toptropicals had these for sale.It seems that its a cultivar of the regular ylang ylang wich means it might not grow true from seed.In that case you need grafted plants.I found seeds on ebay, but I think that this is a Chinese fake.
From seed it takes 5 years to flower.https://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/Desmos_red.htm
The russian annonaceae i found on GBIF was a mistake,a tree from Malaesia,brought to Russia then got into an american collection.
As for ylang ylang,why would you grow such plant in Russia ,when there are otther plants with similar flowers and scent that also make the best fruit,Cherimoya and sugar apples.I am interested in growing any tropical and exotic species. And if I find something new that I have never seen in any collection in Russia, then I will definitely find it for myself.
Is the C. abutiloides too small to make worth peeling before eating?Hi Oscar, its size is like that.
I think this eucalyptus is not able to survive in my area of residence. From December to March, the temperature in my region ranges from -15 to -27 ° C. But thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
Verry nice flowers.If you like australian plants there is one you can plant it outdoor where you are,Eucalyptus Pauciflora Debeuzevillei.The most cold hardy eucalyptus with beautifull bark but beware that it poisons the soil like a walnut.
This year I grow them in a greenhouse, for the winter I clean them home. This has been going on for 6 years and I have not seen flowers yet, but I still hope.Hi guys. It may seem strange and stupid, but I grow dragon fruits in Russia. Today I have 11 varieties.

I've been looking for cuttings of the "Yellow Dragon" Selenicereus megalanthus for a long time. Can someone sell me with delivery to Russia?
Amazing! Are you fruiting those in a greenhouse?
