Yay my nation's national flower
Thank you....I was growing my tuber all wrong.

Thanks for visiting
Glory Lily is a very serious weed of near-coastal vegetation. It forms dense understorey carpets in coastal dune systems, competing strongly with native flora. It is regarded as one of the ten most serious invasive garden plants in Australia
Yes it can be and is invasive, depending on the climate. In cooler climates you will struggle to keep it alive, in warmer climates it can run away and be a real pest, especially if it gets into waterways. We should have talked about that in the video, so point well made.
Beautiful
Thanks for the video 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's the officially recognized flower as the T. N. State's " State Flower" in India.
Yes, Tamil Nadu State Flower.....
Had no success :( Tried to grow this indoors and outdoors in the UK. I'm in USDA plant hardiness Zone 9
what do you do if your tuber isnt y shaped?
Assuming the growing tip of the tuber is not broken, plant it with the growing tip a little lower than the other end, it should still grow however may not flower the first year
How much time does it take to produce flower, once it start producing leaf
Not long
@@LostInThisGardenofLife not long means 1 year or more?
@@butcher2545 the first season
Gloriosa
Well dang it. My package didn’t say it was a climber. Thank you for your help.
Good luck with it. Its a brilliant plant when in flower.
Me and my sister just collected it today from the bank of a pond which has palm trees and it was growing near the palm trees 💀
We collected a plant ✨

@@knyuniverse-690 Be very careful not to break the tip of the tuber, they don't recover from that.
So is it essentially just one vine per tuber? You need a lot for a full effect then.
The tubers naturally divide into two each year, so fairly quick
Yes one vine/stem per tuber. Say if you lose the stem growth from the soil line, it won't push up another shoot like a clematis or ivy vine.
@@onetwocue If the growing tip of the tuber is damaged it will not usually reshoot.
@@johnnyAGardening
I'm talking about when the plant starts growing. Like you already have a sprout above the soil from the tuber.
@@onetwocue We have never had that happen, so can't be sure. I will ask an 'expert' on these to try to get a better answer. In the meantime, let us know if new growth appears.
I bought a plant and it wilted. But the tubers looked good like yours in the video. I stored two and replanted one. Will it grow and how long until they sprout?
If the tuber tip is not damaged and you plant it correctly in the right season it should show signs of growth in spring to summer depending on the climate.
Ooo harika zambak türü thak you kut bay teşşekkür🌞🌙
👍 👍 💚 💚
I have these growing in my backyard I'm trying to find information on when to harvest seed pods should I let them dry?
Yes let the seed pods dry.however you need to pick them before they open.
Do you think I can get away with growing this on the east coast in South Carolina zone 8b? I've read a few places that they can survive but I can't find any exact temperature that they can survive. I saw a picture of this plant at the garden part of the zoo I went to recently with my parents when I was reminded of this plant's existence but it's currently fall and it wasn't in bloom. I really want to try it out here but I don't want to unnecessarily dig it up every winter when it can do well outside.
8b is about the limit, so it will depend on the position. If you do not get heavy freezes AND you give it good drainage AND you are prepared to put a deep mulch over it in winter than we would give it a try..... But no guarantees.
@@johnnyAGardening Thank you for the advice.
I live in coastal Georgia and planted 3 tubers in the ground over 20 years ago. Each year they come up in April and bloom into July. Many times when the seed pod formed after the flower bloomed I would snap it off and toss it on the ground. Maybe that explains why I now have glorious lilies in a large part of my garden. I never remove any tubers.
Hello, may I know how the baby plant of gloriosa growing from seed look like? We all have seen how it looks like if grown from tuber/rhizome. Do they look the same? Anyone has the answer? Please share. Thk you

Does this plant need sun to germinate?
The seeds need good light and warm soil to germinate.
Is it grown from seeds also.
It could be grown from seeds however we have never seen them for sale.
Any fertilizer needed with these, mine is very slow growing & last year had no flowers at all!
Hello Di, in a good potting mix it should not need fertilizer for the first year. After that Yes. We use a liquid fertiliser every two weeks up until flowering.
I bought some seeds on the internet about 5 years ago. I threw them next to a tree to climb. I had such a show of flowers this year I had to take photos. Now I'm trying to save seeds from them. It looks like seed pods that I have. Any advice?
They need to be kept moist and warm to germinate, and can take 2 - 3 months. Soak them in warm water before sowing the seeds, only 1 - 2 cm deep (say 1/2 to 3/4 inch) Fertilise with a liquid fertiliser once a month, ALSO Let the seeds ripen before collecting.
Hi which soil to use and how many time we have to water it
We use an ordinary potting mix, so free draining with good organic matter and humus. Water when the soil begins to dry a little.
@@johnnyAGardening can I use cow manure
@@stanlistan5312 Yes, we use aged cow manure on just about all of our plants, Excellent Choice.
@@johnnyAGardening Thax can I plant straight in cow manure or mix with potting mix
@@stanlistan5312 About 10% manure 90% potting mix.
Hi,is this possible to grow from seeds ?
Yes. I bought mine from Onalee in Brooksville, Florida about 5 years ago. They grew great.
