How to grow morning glory?
Morning glories don't transplant well, so you would be better off soaking them for 24 hours, nick them with a blade, and then either use peat pellets or directly sow them in the ground.





Good Luck
Reply:just throw them down wherever you want them.....they're impossible to kill though..we had them and we mowed them over millions of times...ALWAYS came back
Reply:As long as the threat of frost has passed in your area, you're fine. Morning glories are very easy to grow. Just get the variety you like (I love the "Heavenly Blue" hybrid), soak the seed overnight (they have a VERY hard seed coat), and plant. I like to plant morning glories as early as possible; they close up during the day when it's warm out, so the sooner they grow, the more time I will have to actually SEE them blooming, as it will stay cooler longer during the day.





Be sure to give them a place to climb, as they are vining plants, of course. I have some lattice that I got at Home Depot, but even string will work :-)





Enjoy!
Reply:It should say on the packet which months you can plant them.





Plant them in really big pots, and place the pots by your balcony. The pots will provide the soil and ground, and since Morning Glory is a vine, it will grow on anything that you put it near.





P.S. - that will look BEAUTIFUL!
Reply:fall asleep after makig love to a moose, then realize that you forgot to dampen the soil before you planted the seeds, morning glories are best grown in damp, super fertile soil
Reply:You need to soak the seeds overnight and then plant one or two seeds per cup (plastic cup with a hole in bottom). Keep it inside in a sunny window, (on a tray or plate) watering when needed. Then when they come up, thin to only one plant per cup. When they get to be about 6 or more inches long, you can transplant them outside (in a pot) in a sunny location. I love this time of year!!! It's still cold (40 degrees) where I live, so I have to wait a bit. Actually, I probably could start now...if I keep all my seeds inside. Have fun!

Do different types of water affect plant growth? Which type of water grows a morning glory plant the fastest?

I need to know which type of water grows the plant morning glory(ipomoea amnicola) the fastest..rain water,tap water,distilled water,and mineral water.

I don't know if anyone would know this without making an experiment to test all of these. Morning glories are really easy to grow and I bet they wouldn't care what type of water they had, as long as they have enough and reasonably good soil.


Is there a way to see if a Morning Glory seed has been chemically treated?

I bought 4 ounces of Morning Glory seeds and I am unsure if I bought chemically treated seeds. Is there a way to see if the seeds have been contaminated? I purchased them from www.bouncingbearbotanicals.com if anyone is familiar with their seeds.

Is there a way to see if a Morning Glory seed has been chemically treated?
Morning Glory seeds have to be chemically treated or they won't germinate. In the wild, they have to go through the intestines of birds or other animals before they will be able to germinate. In order to duplicate that process, it has to go through a chemical treatment.
Reply:Morning glory seeds that have been chemically treated will be coated with a powdery substance, usually pink which is an antifungal agent. If it is just dark brown or black, chances are that it is untreated.





In answer to the first responder to your question, morning glory seeds DO NOT have to be chemically treated in order to sprout. Seeds that have fallen to the ground from the previous season's vine will automatically sprout when the weather warms up. It DOES NOT need scarification - either physical or chemical by way of animal intestines in order to sprout.
Reply:As far as I know, there is no way to tell. If that site said they were organic or untreated, then that probably means they weren't treated with dyes or other chemicals. If seeds have been treated, there is no way to wash off the chemicals.

How do you make morning glory wine?

out of the flowers, NOT the seeds. what are the effects?

How do you make morning glory wine?
You would soak the blossoms in wine. However, it's primarily the seeds that have any psychoactive effect.





However, there's some issues (from the web):





"one person advised caution as the leafs may contain other toxins such as cyanogenic glycosides. Presently, only the seeds are known to contain lysergic acid amides, but it is a short jump from a flower to a seed pod, and there ARE tales of morning glory FLOWERS being made into a psychoactive wine"





Who knows? I'm not sure I would risk the toxic effects for the mild effect of the morning glory flowers.


Hawaiian baby woodrose or morning glory?

I want to take morning glory seeds for the LSA effect what store can i buy these at where there is no poison?

First of all, Mr. Bwippner, Meijers stores are only found in the north-eastern states - it's likely that the asker hasn't heard of one.





Secondly, there is a specific brand you should look for. This brand is found in nearly all stores that sell seeds, such as Wal-Mart, Meijers, gardening shops, and any store that has a gardening section.





Look on the back of the packet of seeds. It should say what conpany produced it. You'll want to get the seeds distributed by Plantation Products. They do not treat their seeds with any chemicals.
