it is getting out of control...with nowhere to vine....if i cut the top of it...will the rest still grow? or will it die?
Morning glory question please?
You can cutt back morning glories all you want to...The yellowing can simply be from the heat of the sun, or watering from above instead from the bottom or a calcium defiency..Sprinkle epsom salt at the base of the plants and then slightly water it in..it will brighten the leaves up...use about a cup for every 4 feet of ground that the morning glories are planted in..
Reply:cutting back your vine will not effect its growth in any negative way-it will help to thicken it up if anything.
The yellowing may be a deficiency, are the older leaves are yellowing first? If so, try fertilizing it with a nitrogen rich fertilizer, one for lawns/palms etc would be fine. Use a soluble product (one that is a powder that you mix with water) so as the plant can absorb it immediately.
Reply:Hi,
I dont think it will hurt your vine to trim it back some I have trimmed mine back for years and it dont hurt them ,its hard to kill a morning glory, if you have leaves yellowing it may be the runners are wrapping to tight around the branch and chocking it, if so cut the runner and remove it
Reply:don't fertilize a morning glory...you'll get lotsa leaves and little if any flowers......glories are plants of the field, where there's rarely anything like fertilzers!!!....they do best with less fussin'....
Reply:yes. in fact if you cut the top a bit it will grow much thicker with many more flowers also it will grow a bit shorter, but wider

Morning glory (cloud in australia) and the northern lights?
When I was drilling in Big Bell in Western Aust, just out of Cue I saw the Southern Aurora one night when I was on night-shift and it lasted at least 6 hours..
Here is a site with some pics taken in Tassie, this looks almost identical as to what we saw in WA back in '82...

Morning glory grinding?
I have no machine i can use to grind them and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to grind them i tried smashing them with a hammer but they just shoot off
Morning glory grinding?
Maybe the seeds are trying to tell you something. First check out www.EROWID.com. Then use a coffee grinder or soak them overnite and chew, chew, chew. I knew a guy that used the coffee grinder in the grocery store, just don't get caught. When I tried them I got nothing out of it. RScott
Reply:I soak mine for a couple of days, then put them between 2 layers of sandpaper and rub the sheets together. It must work, or I wouldn't have Morning Glory crawling all the way up the staircase outside my apartment every Summer.
I have also had success just planting the seeds in the late fall, before the ground freezes. They have all winter to soften up, and when Spring comes, they start popping out of the ground. I discovered this about 5 years ago. I didn't plant any seeds at all, and they came up where I had planted them the year before and didn't pull out the old plants or remove the flowers from the fence--they reseeded themselves. Now I just dig in a few seeds here and there in November and I have a great crop of Morning Glories come Summer Be sure to mix in some Moonflowers, they look awesome together, since the Morning Glories open during the day, and the Moonflowers at night.

Morning glory and horse-tail problem.?
Does anyone out there know some special tricks to eradicate or at least control these weeds? I've been digging them out by hand, going as deep as 18" in some cases to get to the main roots and removing every trace of them but it seems to be getting worse.

My question is what is all the types of plant belong in the morning glory group?
I have an strange plant in my yard, I don't know if it's a weed or plant. The leaves close up in the evening time and open back up in the morning. It's slender and the stalk is a quarter thick or a little bit bigger. The limbs spread as wide as my arms and now it's taller than me now. I'm 5'4" in height.
My question is what is all the types of plant belong in the morning glory group?
A Yahoo search for "morning glories" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 962,000 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek.
Good luck with your search.

Whats the difference between an Acid Trip and a Trip on Morning Glory seeds?
What is the difference? A story my father told me of a friend of his back in the 60's took acid. After about a half an hour his buddy stood in front of his bathroom mirror and removed all his skin, muscles, circulatory system, organs, till there was nothing but some flesh hanging off his bones. He set all of himself on the top of the toilet bowl and when he came to put his body back together he couldn't. He was eventually caught by the police at 2:00 in the morning barking at traffic on Sunset Blvd. Is one safer than the other and which one is more dangerous if used improperly?

If not, wrong category.
Reply:i believe you are thinking of poppy seeds...i have never heard of anyone tripping off of morning glory seeds...an acid trip involves hallucinations, paranoia, and distortion of reality...the seeds would probably have a lesser effect than actual acid, but i do not know...i have only done acid once and have never tried seeds...there is probably something on the internet about it...you should try googling it...
Reply:Acid Trip is wayyy more powerfull than a Trip on Morning Glory seeds. Its farrrr more expensive but gives a greater experience. Morning Glory seeds are legal and you can buy them at a hardware store, so they are cheep but not as effective when you smoke them. With all drugs come danger and you can die if you use any drug improperly. Acid will most likley do more damage. I dont see how you can use them "improperly" because its not legal but its your choice. You have the information but just be careful dude. You see what happened to your dad's friend. It really doesn't pay to be arrested or far worse, killed from a substance that will give you a small time of pleasure. it really can f*ck up your life.

What's the story morning glory?
Shut up, I know it's not morning! Kidding... what's going on in your town?

My fiance gets a morning glory every morning?
from drdrew.com:
"Morning erections are a normal part of male physiology. In fact, when doctors are trying to determine whether or not a man's erectile dysfunction is physiological or psychological, they will often apply a nocturnal tumescence monitor, which monitors the presence and duration of erections during the night. Several things can cause morning erections. One, as the bladder fills during the night, it tends to trigger a spinal reflex that can cause erection. Also, the congestion caused by the full bladder can decrease the outflow of blood from the penis. There are aspects of normal sleep cycling that tend to induce erection as well.
Dr Tim: Erections are mostly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The parasympathetic part functions during relaxed states. Erections actually occur when men are in relaxed states (you don't need blood going to your penis when you are running from a lion) and early morning is simply one of the most relaxed states."

Will goats get sick if they eat morning glory [ Ipomoea sp.] or passion flower vines [Passiflora]?
We need to plant some fast growing vines against a wired -screened area and are considering Passion flowers and the Morning glories ... we have two pet dwarf Nigerian goats who could reach the vines and possibly nibble on them. Are they poisonous/ at risks??!!
Will goats get sick if they eat morning glory [ Ipomoea sp.] or passion flower vines [Passiflora]?
no problem in the poison department. the morning glory is in the sweet potato family and the passion flower often can put out small eatable fruit.
the real problem is the goats. my ex mother-in-law had several dwarf nigerian goats. the ate everything that grew within reach as fast as it came out of the ground. i don't think your vines stand a chance.

Morning glory plants have beetles. Help What will keep them away?
I did some research and can't find info on this particular beetle. Lots of sites told how many different beetles like these plants, but none said how to stop them from coming to my plants.I've never seen beetles like this before and I've grown Mor Glory for 3 years. Any suggestions? At this point I'm even open to insecticide although it would be my last choice.

There is a spray called Sevin. It works pretty well and you can find it at Lowe's, Home Depot, or similar stores.

Do you have to plant moonflower seeds with Morning glory seeds?
I just started planting MG seeds and i notice people talking about both and not just one. do you have to plant them together?Is it possible to plant morning glories in a condo apartment?
Do you have to plant moonflower seeds with Morning glory seeds?
absolutely not. Plant your MF seeds where you'll be watching them at night. Plant your MG's where you can see them in the mornings. For instance, by your patio for you to admire during late cookouts for MF's and outside your breakfast nook for MG's.
Reply:You can definitely plant them separately, but once you plant morning glories, you will have them forever!!! They can get way out of control and invade other plants with their vines. Just be careful. Moonflowers on the other hand are beautiful and less invasive. They are self seeders which die off at the end of the season and return in the spring. I love the moonflowers, not so much the morning glories, or four-o-clocks.

Moonvine Morning Glory?
I planted moonvine morning glories in a long narrow planter and its climbing up a trellis however it really hasnt started branching at all. Its one long vine. I have read articles of pinching back the vine to promote branching. Does anyone have any expierence from this? Or is it a myth?
Moonvine Morning Glory?
Mine grow without much help at all. Plenty of water with well drained soil. I don't pick up any dropped flowers, I let them stay and it reseeds itself. It should grow on it's own. As for pinching, I've not seen it help nor hinder. I cut mine back to the ground every winter as it dies off and each spring, it's all over and doubled up.
You may want to clip a starter and root it in a vase then plant it among the other. Takes about a week to get it started.

How to get rid of Morning Glory Flowers?
I planted them a couple years along a wooden fence at the back of a cutting garden at my fathers house. Now he can't grow anything because the morning glories choke and smother everything....
How do I get rid of them without harming the ability to plant flowers for cutting?
I've tried weeding with a frenzy every couple of days - but there seems to be no end in sight.
How to get rid of Morning Glory Flowers?
I have the same problem. I refuse to use weed spray so I just go out everyday and rip them up. I'm finding fewer and fewer. Arrrgh, they're so pretty but so freakin' obnoxious!
Reply:I live in the east, and love Morning glories. They're an annual here. I didn't know they were so invasive. They seem pretty easy to rip up.
Reply:I had the same problem with wild berries in my yard. The only thing I found that worked was digging them up. Every bit of root that I could get ahold of. Each spring they were fewer and fewer, but now they're gone forever. Fight a persistant weed with persistance.
Reply:weed killer such as "Round-Up" once temps have reached 80* will do it. Just wait at least 2 wks. before planting anything %26amp; be sure to do on a NON_WINDY day-so as to not have over-spray harm any plants or grasses you do want to keep.
Check manuf. link below for any further info.
Reply:the roundup idea is a good answer. you may want to use something like 2-4-D in the summer to keep them from going to seed and then use roundup after a good frost. the white ones you mentioned are a bad weed and it goes by several names with morning glory being just one of them. they are either field (small flowers) or hedge (larger flowers) bindweed and ate on most states obnoxious weed list
Reply:Dig them up, thin them out, rototill them every year. Do not let them go to seed for the next season. Weed killer, although I don't like pesticides so I just use the elbow grease with persistence.

Reply:the roundup idea is a good answer. you may want to use something like 2-4-D in the summer to keep them from going to seed and then use roundup after a good frost. the white ones you mentioned are a bad weed and it goes by several names with morning glory being just one of them. they are either field (small flowers) or hedge (larger flowers) bindweed and ate on most states obnoxious weed list
Reply:Dig them up, thin them out, rototill them every year. Do not let them go to seed for the next season. Weed killer, although I don't like pesticides so I just use the elbow grease with persistence.

Are morning glory [blue flowers/vine] easy2grow? will they climb a fence nicely?
and HOW MANY blooms within a foot space do you get?
never have grown them, am starting them from seed indoors 1st.
Live in NY and now's the time to start seedlings.
Today was the 1st warm day of this spring 2008!! :o)
Most of my variety of flowers are warmer colors [some reds, yellows,ect] and pinks too.\need blue in there!
anyway, am hoping the blue morning glories cover a large amount of space up all over the fence--to cover quite nicely w/lots of BLOOMS { :--D
pls advise.

Morning Glories are great for covering a large space. I've heard people say that you can never get rid of them after planting but I've never had them come back, always have to replant. I grew some under a cedar tree that had been trimmed of branches until about 10 feet off the ground. Last year the morning glories climbed the tree and went up into the branches. I had no idea they'd go that far, it was pretty spectacular and they were covered with blooms every morning. I think if you spaced them every 6-8' along the fence they'll cover nicely. I started mine inside in the little peat pots. Then I put those directly in terra cotta pots (probably 10" diameter) that I busted the bottoms out of and filled in around them with potting soil. That got the seedlings off to a nice start without competing with weeds/grass, but as they grew the roots could go down into the yard. Turn the soil over underneath the pot then place them at least four inches down into the soil. Mine were covered with blooms, more blooms than leaves.
Reply:plant them a couple inches apart and it will fill in great
I plant them around my back deck, and they go crazy there, just make sure they get enough sun and you may need to train them to climb in the begining, but once they start going, they won't stop.
remember to collect the seeds in the fall
good luck and happy planting, these are my favorite!
Reply:hey fellow new yorker! i live in wny and i grow morning glories all of the time. they are very popular around this area.
Reply:they are as close as weed as you can get. easy to growhard to get rid of
Reply:New York? I lived in Texas and planted them one time, and they were beautiful, and came back every year. The vines were covered with flowers, maybe a flower every 4 inches? But, I really can't say if NY would be different.

How to grow morning glory?
i live in a apartment but there is a balcony, last year i planted chillis, tomatos but this year i want to plant morning glories, but i dont know how to plant them in pots or when to plant the seed i mean which months is suitable. do u think they will grow in a balcony.gave me some good advice to plant morning glories, cosmos, and will bloom in pots. what should i do, in order to grow and plant them from seeds
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!
