Growing Morning Glory - As easy as... well, it's easy
    #5504861 - 04/11/06 06:58 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

So it's like this.  I happened upon a fine quantity of Morning Glory seeds, and enjoyed the experience quite a bit.  I decided that I should grow one of these wonderful plants.  So I nicked a seed, soaked it overnight, and plopped it in a pot.  It sprouted maybe four days later, and has been growing very healthily ever since.  I neglected to take detailed notes on the chronology of the growth, but what follows are some of my general observations.

First, the plant grew very, very slowly until it had about a half-dozen leaves, which took about two weeks.  After that, it smoked some crack or something and started growing at anywhere from an inch to two inches a day in the form of a single vine.  It's been growing at this rate ever since.

I started the plant out in full sun, and it seemed to like this quite a bit.  I then realized, however, that I had nothing for it to vine on in the window sill, so I moved it back about six feet onto a cabinet with a wine rack mounted above it so it had something to grow on.  There was no way that it could have reached the wine rack on its own, so I just looped it around one of the wires.  After that, it wrapped onto the wire and continued searching for more.

The vine moves very quickly as it searches for stuff to grab onto.  I've seen it point straight out into the air in the morning, and when I came back in the evening it was pointing the complete opposite direction and had latched onto and wrapped around a wire that it found there.  Very impressive.  It's like it truly has a brain controlling it!  I've never felt very connected with a plant before, but with this one, I feel like I'm its companion.  I'm nurturing it, it's growing like mad, and will reward me greatly soon.  That's my running theory at least.  :laugh:

I don't remember exactly when I planted the seed, but the plant can't be more than a month old.  Here are some pictures for you to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.  I'm going to keep using this thread as a grow log to help others out in growing this magnificent plant.  I'm not sure what strain it is, as the bag was a mix of a whole bunch of strains, but I hope to be able to identify it by the color of its flowers.  Anyway.  The pictures:

The base of the plant, where if you look closely, you can see flowers just starting to form:


The wrap around the wire on the left is what I did to start it off on the wine rack, the wrap around the wire on the right is completely its own doing!!


I did this to start it off:


It did this all on its own (sorry for the blurriness):


A nice close-up view of the base (see the flowers starting?):

They grew too easy for me in an outdoor garden.
In fact, they pretty much took over - not just the garden, but the whole yard!
These were planted many years ago and take time to take over that much.. It seems like they are out of control now though. Even in cracks in the driveway, they sprout up all of the time. If i try to grow some vegetables in the garden, the MG will use them as support to stretch their vines around, and choke the life out of whatever other plants I'm trying to grow.
They also like to take over fences and posts. Especially the mail box. I let them have at it for a while because they looked pretty on the mailbox, but soon you couldn't even open it, so they had to be cut.

If you remember, what kind of potting soil did you use? Anything special?

I used a big bag of Miracle Grow brand soil that I got at Wal-Mart.

Where it was on the wine rack, it didn't get much sun. It seemed to be stretching really bad to try and get some brighter light, so I uncoiled it from the wine rack and put it right in the window sill last night. I'm not sure how much it will like not having anything to vine around, but I know that it will like the sun much, much more.
