WOLLONGBAR, NSW

Miracle Fruit

I had heard of the Miracle fruit, and after talking with someone who has one growing I decided I must try one as well!. I received my plant in excellent condition in March 2023, have just got the keys to my new home so will be planting my Miracle fruit in my new garden. It has flourished in the large pot I placed it in, and I'm sure will love being planted into the ground. I look forward to trying the fruit for myself some time soonish.

Westcourt, Qld, Australia

Miracle Fruit

Great party trick - try with crappy red wine and the wine will taste like high-end port. Please share your fruit with anyone going through chemotherapy, it helps them actually eat. Shame more people (drs) don't know this.

Hove, SA, Australia

I live in Adelaide so need to keep my plant indoors. I pollinate by using a very small, soft paint brush and dab each flower. First fruit this year after a 4 year wait.

MOUNT GRAVATT , QLD, Australia

I had a very sucessful miracle fruit bush but I gave it away to a local mango farm that also runs a cafe/ice cream shop as a tourist attraction. I thought it might be interesting for them to show their visitors.

COBURG, VIC, Australia

Growing quite well.  During Melbourne's winter I have brought it inside and stopped watering it, and it is coping.  Apparently likes acidic conditions so it is growing in a camelia potting mix.  I periodically add coffee grounds to the top of the po...

Received my plant last year and has been in a pot under my back verandah (receiving afternoon sun) ever since and growing slowly but surely. Can now see flower buds forming all over it. Very exciting to see! Will boost with azalea fertilizer in spring.

Bundaberg, Qld, Australia

Mine is a tiny little plant which has suffered from being appetising to geese. Virtually no growth since being planted two years ago. Now protected from attack. More of a novelty plant really. Good for diabetics with a sweet tooth apparently. No fruit ...

Richardson, A.C.T

Miracle Fruit

Plant doing very well in a narrow but deep pot .I'm in Canberra so brought it in over winter and put it under a HPS lighting. Plant too young to fruit yet. Yates Osmocote slow release pelets seem to do the trick. Use Azalea potting mixture.

Perth, WA, Australia

Miracle Fruit

You can hand pollinate this fruit by using your nails to brush against the flower gentally. White pollen will fall on the nails and used to wipe the stigma of many flowers. You can tell the flowers are open as there is a very strong perfume that wafts.

Bardon, Qld, Australia

A very novel fruit, but slow growing.

Pawtucket, RI

Miracle Fruit

I'm not sure but i think these are wind pollinated. Perhaps if you gently shake your plants when they're in flower, you may have more berries. Then again, maybe not.That toothbrush method sounds successful too.

Calvert, QLD, Australia

I can't wait to play tricks on a mate when they come over for a beer.I only wish I bought it through Daleys, as I got it posted to me for $28 and it is way to small. We could have got it through Daleys and it would have cost much the same but we would ...

I have about 20 flower buds but none have bloomed in 4+ weeks, I'm using the 50/50 perlite/peat moss soil mix. Any ideas? also how do I pollinate?

Keperra, QLD, Australia

Purchased this one quite advanced, and it fruited straight away. Got around 5 berries the first year and lots forming spring 2010. Makes any not quite right/ripe citrus taste as sweet as candy! It is absolutely fantastic and highly recommended.Seeds al...

Melbourne, VIC

Miracle Fruit

My plant is indoors in a pot, so insect pollination is not an option. Only ever had 1-2 random berries. A couple of weeks back I tried 'buzz pollination' with an electric toothbrush (like with tomatoes) and now I've got about 40 berries coming.

Wakeley, NSW, Australia

Done absolutely nothing since I got it.

Very slow growing plants,  doesnt like too much sun, I prune off dead leaves. still in 1 gallon pots after 1 year.

WALLARAH, NSW, Australia

Not much to tell at this point. I have three in hydroponics and three in pots.  Apparently they are very slow growers and conflicting evidence about cold tolerance. I'm keeping them warm to be safe.

Sippy Downs, QLD, Australia

slow growing bushy plant. no fruit yet after 2 years.

Unanderra, NSW, Australia

I grow this in a pot and bring it inside in winter.  The fruit is amazing - turning everything you eat sour into delicous sweetness.  Lat night i tried some red wine after eating a miracle fruit and it tasted like port!!

Madison, , WI

Miracle Fruit

I had mine growing in a pot for 6 months inside...only one fruit so far,the buds would just die before blooming. I added Miracid too. I searched and finally was told that problem was 'pollinating'! Here in Wisconsin, do I have to wait till next spring?

Brandon, FL

How to store miracle fruit.U can use thick and fit plastic tupperware, put in aroung the 'very old' newspaper in and wrap the miracle fruit with other very old newspaper, put in freezer vegetable section. I'm sure u can save itu until 30 days.

Miami, FL

I mix peat moss old fruit and vegetable peices and daily coffee grounds to make the soil to grow the seed we get from our older plants. The new baby seeds do wonderfully and the older plants give 10Xs more fruit.
