passion flowers

Question

Someone has given me a passion flower ‘shoot.’ It has a root on it and 6 pairs of leaves, each having a very thin ‘climber coil’? on it. It’s on a straight stem about 18 inches high. I have planted it in the garden and I plan to grow it against a fence. When do I start training it to spread out and how?

Thanks for your help
