Buy seeds online or buy a choko and wait until it starts sending out a shoot and then plant.

buy a whole choko from the store set aside indoors ( maybe in a fruit bowl ) and it will sprout a vine on its own Then plant the whole thing .. i have a posting becoming available, that will explain the process after that

Grew my first ever choko this year starting with a whole choko in the ground. Got more than 200 chokos. I like the taste of choko after it started sprouting. So I ended up with a lot of sprouted choko seeds which I planted in the ground. (Only the seeds, no flesh attached to it). They are growing well and I am harvesting the growing tips from them already. If these plants from seeds alone grow big, will they produce chokos? Does the nutritional value of chokos change as they start sprouting? Thanks.

Best to plant the whole choko after it has sprouted. I have heard, that just planting the seeds is not as successful .But you can always try right.

Hi - wondering if you have any choko plants spare? I am struggling to find a seed source.

Buy a choko and put it in your pantry until it starts sprouting.

i Buy a choko from the store and leave it on top of my fridge or in a fruit bowl on the table .The choko will sprout from one end. Once sprouted it is ready to plant out. Plant the whole vegetable in the ground on its side. Then support and train the vine up a stake or trellis. i then train it to a overhead rack, (Old wire mesh fence gate on poles ) 1 choko will produce a lot of vines , and should yield 80 fruit or more

My choko is growing like crazy, planted in May 2022 but still no flowers or fruit. When will it start flowering?
