Best Time To Prune, Repot, An Indoor Passionfruit?

Question

I have a two-year-old passion fruit vine (edulus) currently in a 12-inch pot in a south window (trying to take over the apartment). I understand that I will need to transfer it to a larger pot and prune it down so it develops new growth. Any suggestions for the best time to do this? It currently has two small fruits that I figure will drop in February, so it would have to be after that! (BYW, it absolutely cannot be put outside for the summer. I know that would be better but I have no access to a place to put it.) Thank you!

Answer 1

Being an indoor specimen, this can be repotted at any time! I would wait until the fruits drop, or you can go ahead and cut them off to speed the process up. Pruning the top can be done at the same time, with such a vigorous specimen. Here are some articles that will help you:
