I have a Passion flower vine. It gets lots of buds but when they are about to open, they turn yellow and fall off. Any suggestion?

Do you fertilize? You should.

Other thoughts: Too much water, too little water, too much heat and too low humidity.

All these things can cause bud drop. Has it ever bloomed?

Thank you Daisy. Yes. Out of 10/15 buds one or two bloom. We do lack humidity in So Cal. I tried less water as well. Any particular fertilizer you recommend?

They like a lot of fertilizer. Pick something with low, about equal nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium numbers like 4-4-4 or 5-4-5.

Never fertilize plants that are stressed. They try to utilize all that extra food and it stresses them even more.
