Son Matt bought this NOID passiflora for Karen on Mother's Day, gotta love it. We repotted, using tapla's "woody" mix, a tablespoon of Osmocote spread on the surface, drip-irrigate 1Q/hr, 3 min, 4x a day (plus rain and Karen's daily showering).

Growth has been great --plump lush new stems and leaves, hand-over-hand climb speed, tendril frenzy. The more mature leaves appear a bit mottled, though to me not alarmingly so (see pics 2 and 3).

Any tips or tricks to get the vegetative growth turned down and the bud development turned ON?
