How to fertilize Bluecrown Passionflower
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Bluecrown Passionflower after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Yellow spots all over leaves & leaf curl, but only for partial section of the vine? #BluePassionFlower Hey all, my passion flower has yellow spotted leaves and curling leaves, pictured, but only for a section of the vine and not the entire plant. Does anyone know what’s going on? Oldest leaves look good (pictures) and newest growth does as well. Did something happen back at the time those leaves were developing? If so, what? Thank you!

Found this app researching sumn on lady ferns. Alls I've got growing atm is this hydroponic passiflora incarnata on account of snow. Never grown one before but the zone here is suboptimal hence the grow tent, and hydro is just my favorite hobby method. Most everything grows outside. Decided to stay a while so this is an attempt to do one of those warm gestures and say hello. I was just calling this one planty, but the app wanted a name so, je me present the distinguished Hortus Cultura.

Hi all, first post here! My passion fruit vine is huge and healthy, getting on 2 years old but has never flowered. She's growing fast still but no sign of flowers yet. Am I doing something wrong? Is she just not old enough yet? I live in Port Orange, FL #PassionFruit

I have 2 cuttings from a friend that I’ve put in water to root. They’ve not rooted at all after 2 months (!) but have grown a bunch new leaves (I had trimmed the leaves down). How can I get them to root so I can plant them? #PassionFruit

Hi! I have several passion flower plants all in ground thriving but this one. It was fine for a couple of weeks but now withering. We do have a lot of rain and sun here in Florida but the other passionflowers are all ok. Any ideas? Thanks!! #PassionFruit

These plants take a while to germinate but once they do they grow fast! I didn’t buy this plant I actually found the seed pods in the street, these seed pods contain a ton of seeds but I’ll warn you, they’re sticky!!! You’ll have to manually remove the red sticky layer to access the dark seed. I recommend you set them in water for a day or two to make it easier to peel that layer. They’ll take about 1-3 weeks to sprout (at least for me) and then it’s smooth sailing from there! The care is pretty easy, just keep an eye out for them bending.
