I am about to bring two passion fruit plants back into the boiler room where I started them from seeds over the winter. They have grown outside to about four feet outdoors and I would like to know which light fixture I can use with the right Kelvin temperature to keep them healthy during the winter. Any ideas? There is very little light in the boiler room from the window, and the window faces north and is blocked by an outdoor tree. Please advise.

I have 2 potted passion flower plants. I live in upstate N. Y. I would like to keep them in my cellar for the winter. It isn't heated. It gets pretty cold, but doesn't freeze. Will this be ok?
Depending on the variety, and whether or not it's an herbaceous perennial, your plan should work well. If the plants die to the soil in winter, light will not be an issue. If they are evergreen, you will need a well lit location. this article should help: http://gardening.about.com/od/shrubsvines/a/Passion-Flower.htm
We have a passion flower plant that is now 11 feet tall. How do we care for it in winter? Do we cut it back? Do we cover it?

I live in south Florida and planted a passion flower vine in-ground. It is not the edible fruit kind. It is beautiful, but overgrown for the limited space. I need to know when and how to trim it, please. Thanks.

I have had a passion flower for 3 years now and it has never flowered. I fertilize it in the spring when I plant it outside along my trellis and again when I bring it in for the winter. It is a healthy plant but has never flowered. I was wondering if you could let me know what else I could do? Thanks.
It sounds like it has too much nitrogen. This will keep a plant from blooming. Try adding some bone meal to the soil and go light with the regular fertilizer. That should help it to bloom.
What is the proper fertilizer for and how often to fertilize passion flowers?
In order to get more blooms than foliage, you'll want a fertilizer with lower nitrogen and higher phosphorus, like Bloom Plus. Bone meal is also high in phosphorus. Begin fertilizing in spring and continue feeding about once a month throughout the growing season. Cut back on fertilizer in fall and completely in winter.
I have a passion flower. I have had it for 5 years. It is kept in a container and brought indoors during winter months. I bring it outside during late spring. It remains in the container. I have had to repot it several times. Is there any way to separate the plant and make two?
While repotting, use a shovel/knife (or your hands) to carefully separate and remove the suckers and roots into the desired number of plants you would like. Transplant /repot the divisions and water them immediately.
