ivy gourd plant roots

18 years ago

I want to acquire a set of tindora roots or Ivy gourd roots. I had a set for a while. Last winter I did not bring them indoors. I live in the state of maryland. If any one can get me these, I can give in exchange baby curry leaf plants developed from seeds. thank you..Indu

Indu,

I had my tindora in a pot in my unheated basement. We have had too many snowfalls and cold weather. So the plant died. but I never moved the pot from the sunny spot and now the plant is sprouting back by itself. it has got few leaves. If you want to wait till June or till my plant is established, I will be glad to share some cuttings with you.

I got the tindora plant from Bhatia Nurseries. But I am just not too happy to go back there. If I ever need any tropical stuff, I will go to logees.com as they usually replace plants(esp. jasmines) if the plant dies within a year of purchase.

Hi Chaman, Thanks for the excellent post. I have been trying to get this plant for the past couple years but no luck. I live in Wisconsin, and growing Tindola from seeds is not going to work, as the summers are very short here. Would you be able to share or sell a root or stem, I would greatly appreciate. Sorry I don't have any exotic seeds to share other than lots of bottle gourd (doodi) and ridge gourd (turai) and I will be happy to send. I will be able to bring the pot into the sunroom in winter.

https://youtu.be/zuOXneS7N50 The plant will not survive in below 0°C condition so you will need to protect the ivy gourd plant in the winter. See video on how to winterize the plant is you are in USDA zone 7 & below.

I am going to South Beach, Florida next week. I will try to get some tindora roots if I can manage. If not, I have to manage without them. Where in Maryland are you? If you have interest in seeing what I grow, you can contact me at indumodali@hotmail.com. If I can manage to get tindora roots, I definitely will share them with you...Indu

rookiegardener1,

tindora plants are called IVY gourds. you can get a lot of tropical stuff from nurseries in florida. if you google, you can get names for those places. But the plants are not cheap.

hope that helps

Any updated information on Tindora plant selling locations/nurseries. Please let me know if you know any Florida based nurseries(Logees.com didn't have any,fyi).

On the same note, I am also interested in getting a Hybrid drumstick plant. Let me know if you know any places for that one too.

Although I would not recommend it--if interested check Bhatia Nurseries. It is in NJ. He has Tindora plant, curry leaf plant etc.

katy_gardener_2010,

About Drum Stick plant. I ordered seeds 'dwarf' from e-bay.
I planted the seeds, they came up very well. Some one will send these seeds from NewDelhi, India. But these are sold on e-bay by a seller name called 'rumleysales'. give it 10-15 days for delivery.

Hi,
I am from Oregon & our growing season is very short. Two summers back, I had some Ivy gourd .. but it died. I am wondering if anyone can send me a plant (or roots)...I don't have much to trade other than some seeds of Asian vegetables. I will be willing to pay for USPS shipping Priority.
thanks a bunch.
