Hi Diane, we've had a couple long -- and I mean long -- threads about rooting passifloras earlier this year. Here's what I learned:

1. Passiflora cuttings root best in the spring when they are in growth mode;

2. Some types are easier to root than others;

3. Some types will root in jars of water; some will rot in jars of water;

3. Humidity is essential to the rooting process so a plastic bag or humidity dome should be used to keep the leaves green;

4. Oasis cubes on a tray of moist pebbles with a humidity dome worked best for me; and

5. A good rooting hormone helps quite a bit.

This is how I rooted mine in the picture below. I put this tray of cuttings in a large zippered plastic bag like the kind you get when you buy a blanket or a comforter.

I hope this helps!
