Ich hatte schon immer eine Vorliebe für den Morgen, und ich habe schon eine Weile versucht, eine Pflanze im Inneren zu halten. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, was ich falsch mache, aber es sprießt einfach nicht für mich, wenn ich die Samen probiere. Weiß jemand, ob es gut aus einem Schnitt funktioniert? Ich weiß, dass die meisten nicht versuchen, es zu erweitern, also habe ich in anderen Gartenseiten nicht viele Informationen gefunden.

The seeds need to undergo cold stratification.
I don’t know how well these will do in a pot, they typically put down a tap root (part of the reason they’re so hard to get rid of).
Have you tried cold stratification, most temperate plants require a significant period of cold temperatures in order to germinate and sprout
This is so funny because I can’t seem to get rid of it, no matter how hard I try
Make sure you’re not allergic as it is super irritating to skin!
You should simply go buy morning glory seeds for $99 cents. They will sprout in paper towels or anything and be much prettier than FBW. Also FBW can be propped from literally any size root cuttings. Just pull some up and cut it into pieces dump into a pot of soil, keep it moist and watch while the devil itself appears before you and attempts to kill everything it come in contact with.
morning glories like a TON of light, like direct south facing window light AND a strong grow light, or they struggle. if you try again you’ll need to get it in a high light location or even try rooting outside. I would personally pull a plant and take as much root as possible then put it in water after washing the roots off, then try to get it growing healthy outside in direct sun or move it inside with southern exposure and a strong grow light. for seeds you’ll have to throw them in the fridge for a few months, 4-6 probably. imo it’s easier to uproot and go from there.
Bindweed and morning glory are not the same. Bindweed is invasive and has deep roots.
Thanks for the advice on cold stratification! It never would have occurred to me and i plan to start that tonight. To be clear, I am seriously asking for field bindweed specifically, not the more managable ornamental morning glories. I get that it has a bad reputation for good reason. I know that it’s damn well unkillable outside, and that’s part of why I like it as a symbol (and also why I only want it potted indoors or not at all lol).
I’m sorry OP but this feels like rage bait 😩😅 I’ve been trying to kill ours for 4 years and that shit will not die. Are you set on growing it from seed? Cuz all ours seems to need is some access to dirt within like a 15 foot radius and sunlight. I can pull a section, throw it down on the concrete, and it’ll end up growing over to wherever there is dirt again. I don’t even think it needs a ton of light cuz I’ll suffocate it out with a plastic bag and it still just grows white instead of green.
Edit: ok so I kinda forgot but it does “die off” very thoroughly aboveground when it gets cold outside. Are you already experiencing colder weather? Cuz maybe that’s it?
Please, take all you want from my flowerbed! I can’t get rid of it!🥹❤️
i am 100% sure you can find someone local to you who would love if you’d come and take some of their mature plants out of their yard. just be sure you dig up as much roots as you can and stick them in a pot.
Bindweed sends off runners in its roots. You should be able to just pull some roots and nodes up. If its a cultivated morning glory they have 1 root system but have tons of seeds, look for a seed pod or come back later for some.
I don’t think this plant will do well in a pot. Think about it. The roots on the plants growing as weeds outside are miles long and deep, the plants get tons of light. The individual flowers are pretty but the plants in their best conditions don’t put on much of a show in bloom. In a pot indoors they will lack the space they need (and greedily take in the wild) and they won’t have enough light to bloom.
There are many other beautiful flowers that are similar and more appropriate for pots indoors or out (and not horribly invasive). It’s great that you like the look of bindweed since it’s bloody everywhere but you’re best off enjoying it where it grows. growing it indoors our out in pots is going to result in very sad looking ugly plants that are unlikely to bloom. Plus propagating noxious weeds is never a great idea…
Grow something else!
My advice is to get some Japanese morning glory seeds. They are beyond gorgeous and won’t become a nuisance like Grandpa Ott variety MG. Bindweed is a weed and thus hard to tame like a “regular” plant
I don’t get why so many people are trying to talk you out of growing a plant you want to grow.
I know nothing about growing bindweed, but I totally get the desire and the challenge.
From what I’ve read in the comments, it sounds like sunlight is your issue, maybe grow lights would be the thing to do, after cold stratification. Yes it’s got a wild extensive root system but it sounds like they’re failing before it’s established much of a root system. Good luck, keep trying.
You’re probably caring too much for it. It’s a weed that grows in hot, dry regions. Also, the seeds drop for next year’s growth, so you may need to wait literal months to see a plant if they’re wild seeds. Bought seeds should sprout faster, but it has to be the right conditions as they typically sprout in spring and early summer. It’s like trying to get daffodils to sprout in the fall. They like the freeze/cold, then sprout when it’s still cold, but after the first warm snap. Dig deeper into the conditions a wild morning glory needs.
I’m going to answer your question in the best way I know how . Willow Water or Willow Tea. Any willow will do as there as several genus. Weeping, Pussy, Silver, White, Black,… A plethora to choose from. Willow contains auxins which are a natural rooting hormone. Not only is this good for getting plant to root it is also fantastic for rooted plants. There are two ways to make Willow water or Willow tea 1 you can cut the wood of the willow into about 1 inch pieces and place them in a jar setting in the sun for 3 days or until water turns pinkish in color. 2 you can boil it for about 35 minutes and expedite the process. Starting with seeds place them in something such as a hairnet.. or strainer and cover in the willow water ….14 days you should be seeing roots. Cuttings…cut the stem at an angle and soak it in the willow water for 3 days and place in the pot. Continue to water dirt and foliage with the tea . …..boiling the bark for this solution Using more obviously means stronger so don’t think you have to much…think more you don’t have enough. Also don’t be afraid to boil it 5 or 6 times …..I usually make 2 gallons from about a 3/4 filled of bark… 2

Make a gallons of willow water using about this much bark. Water your seeds or cutting in this solution
