How to Grow Papaya Indoors

Anyone ever tried to grow a papaya from seed? 👍🌴

Before you plant the seeds you must put them in a bowl of water and let them float for a little bit. Seeds that float to the surface should be discarded and only seeds that sink to the bottom should be planted. Greetings from Greece.

I really like this show!! I live in Florida and have successfully started papaya from seed straight from the store bought fruit,remove the seed from the fruit and place directly into the soil,takes about a month to show up,I have them everywhere!!

Great tutorial! Was looking for a tutorial on how to grow papaya and yours was the most informative! thank you! 😊👍

I am impressed you are growing in Norway. I wish you great success. Your passion is examplery.

Wow thanks for the shout out 😊. I’m far behind in my videos so I just watched this. I had no idea what a nice plant the papaya is. I think I might try this as well.

Loving this video, I too love to grow tropical plants indoors in Chicago. Was happy to hear you are growing them in Norway, my family is from Norway to what a coincidence!

Nice video. Only, for germinating the seeds I would prefer to use the paper towel method and carefully transplant them to soil when roots and first leaves are visible. I did like 20 seeds at the same time from a store bought papaya and almost all germinated in about 1 or 2 weeks time at 21-23 degrees C. Don't worry about the fruit, from what i can see in your video, you're on the right track. I also live in a cold climate country but that didn't stop me from growing my own mango's in my living room with success. My latest edition to my home indoor garden is a Asimina Triloba (Paw Paw sunflower) tree from seed but 96cm tall today. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Impress with yr commitment. Keep it up!!

If anyone wants to grow papayas in a colder climate, look for "mountain papaya" (Carica Pubescens) as this is much more forgiving of colder temps (but still does not like freezing temps if you can help it). It grows a star shaped fruit that is usually smaller than a standard papaya but can be cross pollinated with a standard papaya to create a "Babaco Papaya" which is larger than both types and is also seedless. Edit: obviously, the babaco papaya would be grown from the cross pollinated seeds. The size of the fruit is not determined by the genetics of pollen, it is the genetics of the mother plant that gives the fruits qualities. The genetics are only mixed within the seeds themselves.

You did a great job . We learn a lot . Thank you ！

Yes, they are beautiful plants . Good luck with the little ones .

Very nice video, will give it a try. I have managed to grow Linchee from store bought fruits and we have a growing banana plant both in our apartment without any special lighting.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Papayas are native to Mexico and Central America. I'm from Mexico and I've grown papayas my whole life, but now I'm in Las Vegas and I'm trying to grow it indoors; your video will be very helpful.

Great info! I live in Arizona and my seeds germinate pretty quick with the goo lol

Really like the vibe of the video!

Omg I'm definitely gonna plant one indoor 😊 we live in the west coast of norway

Thank you for the valuable information

Good job, my grandpa grows papaya too in his backyard. Lives in San Diego

Hey Christopher, great video as always. Have you ever thought of growing Frankincense? I think the other name for it is Boswellia. It probably will be a challenge for you to grow in you climate. I would love to learn how to grow it. I bet ya can do it, plus you'll have the sap to burn and enjoy as well as the beautiful plant to look at. Thanks again for sharing, hope to see more!
