New leaves coming out from germinated buah letup-letup (Passiflora foetida).

I germinate the seeds of buah letup-letup (Passiflora foetida) last 16 February 2019. I saw it sprouted leaves yesterday evening of 2 March 2019. Basically it took me around 15 days for it to start sprouting leaves during this hot blazing weather.

The leaves of the germinated buah letup-letup (Passiflora foetida) that is still very small.

The fruits are roughly the size of a ping pong ball or kumquat and contain a bluish-white pulp that is mildly sweet and delicately flavored. In the Philippines, the fruit of Passiflora foetida are known colloquially as marya-marya ('Little Mary'), 'kurombot', and santo papa (due to its resemblance to the Pope's mitre). Young leaves and plant tips are also edible. Dry leaves are used in tea in Vietnamese folk medicine to relieve sleeping problems, as well as treatment for itching and coughs [1].
The one that I know, some people use it for recovery those who have massive stroke attack. Well, have to make research well on that before using it.

This plant normally grow wildly at the side of the road. It does grow at the fence of my neighbour. So, I just take 1 ripe yellow fruit last 16 February 2019 from her to try germinate for self usage at home.

As for me, I like the sweet tast of the fruits. It is similar texture to passion fruit, but sweeter and smaller in size.

Till then, have fun planting buah letup-letup (Passiflora foetida) at home😉💪.
