I would encourage you to water them with bloom booster every 2 weeks and also prune the tips to encourage new growth. I heard that potted plants do need to be fertelized b/c they loose nutrients faster than when they are in ground. Have you checked the back of the leaves for any type of bugs? I remove infested leaves on my vines and they seem to grow new ones.

Here's a picture of one of my vines where I found a very tiny worm with web chewing under the leaves. It becomes transperant and with a hole. Still it already has buds. I will remove those leaves. I also sprayed with safer soap in case if there's more eggs. It seems that quite a few of us had to deal with bugs on the vines this year.
