Diana,
Your comments and questions are most welcome. It is not uncommon for vines grown from seed to flower in the second year of growth and not in the first. I'm sure you will get a show of flowers next spring or summer. Some Passifloras do just fine in part shade and in fact prefer it to full sun.
This Is a Test,from the ....
Thanks Clare ,me too!!!
Hi Diana ,are your leaves as big and shiny as they ones in the pic,we might have the same vine,it should vine this summer.
This was taken in the summer..It is now twice this big..
you can not see the shiney leaves..very well...next one will be the leaves..now....smiles...
Diana
I hope you can see the size and they just glow...hehehe...so pretty, even flowerless...
Smiles...
Diana
Those leaves sure look nice. Should be very pretty next summer.
Diana,yep!I'd say there same,except yours is a lot bigger than mine,and yours will more than likely flower before mine,because its older too.
Can hardly wait for you to post a pic of it when it does!!
Are you feeding it now or letting it rest for the winter,I'm feeding mine weekly,I've read where a lot of people don't feed theres for it puts out more growth and delays the flower production,but I like to use shultz or peters 10-60-10 when I can find it.
heheh..Tropicman....I feed it maybe every 3rd watering..Really trying to hold it back...??? hehehe, I think it could cover my room..It grabs the woodwork, and if it finds a gap...it will grow right though it....hehehe...we feed it 20-20-20, Oh I hope it blooms..thanks everyone for your support...and when it does you will hear me from here...
Smiles..
Diana
LOL!Eyes and ears are open!!!!
You guys have some beautiful leaves there. I think they may be the same also. Passiflora Edulis "Elizabeth" is supposed to have very shiny leaves.
Thanks Clare will have to look for a pic of that one!
Here's a picture of the flower, but it doesn't show the leaves: http://www.gkexoticplants.com/Passiflora.htm
Check out this one: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/maracudja/pages/Kewensis2.htm
Clare and they said this one is easy to propagate thru cuttings!!!LOL!
Shes a pretty one!
First pic look like it was lying in the grass!
Almost looks like my maypop!
Yes, I see what you mean! I did a search for "Passiflora shiny tri-lobed leaves," and I got some matches on those. I also got a match on P. jamesonii "Coral Seas," but you have that one, don't you? I can't remember now. Well, it will be fun to find out! I too actually have a Passiflora that I don't know which one it is! It was started from a cutting too about a year ago. It didn't flower for me last summer so I hope it will this summer.
Coral seas!No you?
You have a pic of one?
Is it new?
I used to have it. I killed it by accident. I made the mistake of potting it in a large container which had no drainage hole. Duh! I'm not sure how that happened, but I had purchased a bunch of containers and had to drill holes at the bottom, and I must have missed one! My leaves didn't look like your though. You've got some really neat unidentified ones!
I am going to order some...red ones...heheh....I really like them...and I am going to do it...and I have no blooms--hahahaha Now...I think they will be worth the wait......heheheh...crazy right...??? What would happen...? If I cut them way back???...the one I have that is...Will that stop any blooms next growing season?...And...If I send cuttings..in the mail...say to Mitjo..in Finland...right now..I have a envelope to go...do I just cut...and send in a plastic..bag.and in a bubble.....with water????? or dry????? I have sent catus a couple weeks ago..and they did not freeze....
Thanks ahead......smiles..

Diana,May depend on haw fast you send the cuttings,if they go dry,I'm sure the will not recover so good or at all,they must have some type of moisture,so they will be able to root once they get there.
heheh Thanks I thought that..but seems like someone said..to leave them dry..I could be wrong...sometimes I think I read too much and get confused...I can use moisture..on the ends..no problem...I use..small plastic squire boxes...and wind them around..and use..square..cotton squires...then I wrap the box...with bubble...and put it in the big bubble..envelope...hey I can try...no big thing..hehehe..that way he can get a head start on them..he is very good with cuttings...not me..hehehehe....Thanks...Hehehe any suggestions, on easy red ones to order?....
Smiles...
Diana
Diana....
When it comes to red there is no bad red color!!LOL!
I sent some plants last year to England Global express I think,paid 30 bucks to send them so they would get there fast the package was big and heavy,they said they would get there in a week or less,took over 10 days,and you know they won't quaranntee plants.I was wintertime too,and some of them made and some didn't.No more express for me!!!
Yes, I know what you mean...Well I have sent many to Mitjo and Evert...Evert takes 5 days...and Mitjo...being more in the North...takes 7....very relieable..for sure...I will try...No big loss...I have plenty...and red...hehehe...I am excited to try....You know...I can remember about 35 years ago...My old neighbor, had Passif.. on her fence...purple...I loved it so...hehehe...so now I can try some...even though I do not have much sun..here...hehehe
Thanks....smiles...
Diana
That might be the reason your not getting any blooms,not enough sunshine on them.I think they need a minimum of 4 hours to get a few blooms,except for the maypop,I get blooms with just a couple hours of sun.
Abort! Abort! Okay, I have some results...
The sealed plastic baggy method is not working for me, at least not inside my house. I think my kitchen may be too warm for the plastic bag method. All of the cuttings in water -- hibiscus, passiflora, and others -- are either wilted, moldy, brown, or rotted. The only ones that haven't died are the newest cuttings of P. Alata "Ruby Glow," that I cut recently, and the ones with the loose plastic cup over the top. The cuttings in the plastic bags that were planted in dirt have mold on them, but do not look dead at this point. All plastic bags have been removed from the jars of cuttings and from the small pots with cuttings.
I am pretty sure that the heat in the kitchen had a lot to do with this result. I am going to continue to watch the survivors inside, but I feel certain that the cuttings would have fared better if they were outside in colder air. I may try this again outside.
On a positive note, Don's cutting of P. Lady Margaret definitely is growing roots. It is in a clear glass jar of water with a large plastic cup fitting losely over the top. This method creates some humidity for the leaves but still allows for some air circulation.
Oh Clare soory to hear that,But glad my ruby still strong.I'd better go check mine,did you start before or after me.
I'd think warm would have been good,my sunroom is 70* 0r more all the time,get back here in a minute or two.
Clare mine are all doing fine,check the temp,74.5* in there now,so its warm in there,and got 81* in there today for the high.Here's some pics.
and
Now look at the leaf node,its growing out new leaves from there,plus a branch vine is starting from that point as well
Now this pic does have some very fine feeder roots,have to look close but there just one coming outside ward and downward.
Wow, that's great, Don. Yours look fantastic. It's about 70 degrees inside my kitchen and may be warmer when the oven is on. Maybe the sun was shining in through the windows in the morning and gave them too much light? The Quadrangularis cuttings rotted quickly. And all the potted items that were in plastic bags had mold growing on the soil and on the cuttings themselves.
Just how long have they been in there,in the sealed bags?
This is the 5th day for mine,and already have the start of some roots.
I started the day you started this thread, Don. The Quadrangularis was the fastest to turn to mush. Some of the others I had had already sitting in a jar of water and then covered them with a plastic bag. This is the fifth day for mine too. Maybe yours is doing better because of the air circulation. Mine had no air circulation at all.
I am a Passiflora fan too:) I truely love them, heheheh. esterday I transplanted two P.trisecta seedlings, and I watered them using rootinghormone, it helps them to grow better roots.
I wish I can bring some Passiflora cuttings from FL.
Passiflora trisecta seedlings.
Close up.
Remember, these are horrible pictures, I just took them, and it was really dark:(
Here's Passiflora belotii cutting.
Same.
Here is Passiflora mollissima & subpeltata.
Close up, the one with smaller leaves is P.subpeltata.
Passiflora edulis 'Golden Giant'.
Passiflora mollissima again:)
