Kay, I rooted this using florists' foam. I didn't really start out to root it, as I've heard it's difficult, but I broke a piece off when moving the mother plant. I took that piece and cut it down into three small cuttings, probably about three nodes long, then treated it like I do passiflora cuttings. Audrey, I REALLY want the 'Mojito'---but if I don't get any offers, then I'll get back in touch with you!

Sorry that you've had to wait awhile for an answer to your post. According to B & T World seeds, Beaumontia grandiflora seeds will usually germinate in 7-30 days. Sow seeds about 2mm deep in a Peaty seed sowing mix at about 22°C.

I've had my T. mysorensis bloom in a 15 gallon container and with only 8 foot of growth, so they don't necessarily need to be big or old to bloom, especially if they are grown from cuttings off a mature plant, as mine was. On the other hand, here in northern California, it is not exactly ideal climate for them, and they only bloom in mid summer to mid fall. On the other hand, I also have a Beaumontia grandiflora planted out in nearby Alameda on a 3 story tall east facing wall, and it must be about 40 feet across and 25 feet tall, and it hasn't bloomed yet after 5 years of being in the ground. I assumed it may not be getting enough heat or prefers full sun, but I see a much smaller specimen at San Francisco's Botanic Garden bloom every year, but it does get full all day sun. I wish I knew what if anything I could do to get my Beaumontia to bloom!

Hi there Brical1 I have several seedlings from my Beaumontia Grandiflora waiting for a good home; if they're a chip off the old block of the parent they will be triffids! Just let me know if you want them, as i'm sure we can do a trade. Double hibiscus sounds interesting. Cheers Muzza
