Need Help on Datura and Passionflower

New Iberia, LA(Zone 9a)

I have seeds of Datura and Passionflowers. So I just planted seeds one each pot last week. They are under light so I need to know that one of them had spouted, should I move it to outside under shade, sun or what? With your help will be appreciate.

Another Question about passionflowers, I have two of them that I bought two years ago. They both did bloomed. So now one of them did not bloom this year. How can I make it bloom again since they did bloomed last year. They are in full sun.

Last Question about my Angel's Trumpet (pink). I bought it three years ago and it never bloom.. I have been waiting long time for them to bloom but never. IT is in full sun.

Thanks for your helping.

I have several Daturas and I find that they grow best in the sun. If your Datura just sprouted I would keep it under the lights till it grows a bit and gradually start bringing it outside.Start in the shade and gradually give it more light each day till it is used to the full sun.They grow very quickly so you will need to keep a check on the pot to make sure it does not get root bound.When mine were about 5" I had them in 1qt pots which they quickly outgrew.
Oh oh! just noticed you live in a much hotter climate than I do.You may want to plant them in a spot that gets the morning sun and afternoon shade. Good luck.
