We have three lovely passion flower plants. A friend has asked for a piece to plant. Is it possible to take a clipping and root it out in water or something? If this is possible, would you give me directions on how to do this?

Our passion flower, which was planted last year and did well, hasn't regrown. April growth has started on other plants, whereas the passion flower has just a tiny bit of green at its base. It does not look very promising. Is it possible that it will come to life this year?
If you see green, it will come back. This past winter was hard on plants in many areas so some plants may have died back to the roots. It sounds like this has happened with your passion vine. But it will recover quickly of the roots are still alive.
My over enthusiastic husband pruned our passion flower vine, which was huge and acted as an umbrella over our pergola. Now in spring, I am left with a trunk and three bare long twigs which show no signs of growth! I am so upset and could cry as it was my pride and glory and now just seems sad and ugly. Should I prune again the twigs to encourage growth or resign to the fact it is dead?

The passion fruit vines are two years old and never brought any flower and fruit. The lemonade tree bears just one fruit for the second consecutive year and even that remains hard and green. The bougainvilleas are supposed to be flame red but instead they're a green bush all year around. I checked the soil and it's 7-7. 5 pH everywhere. What am I doing wrong?
It sounds like your soil has too much nitrogen. It makes lots of leaves but little in the way of flowers and fruit. Add some phosphorous, such as in bone meal.

I live in northern West Virginia and I want to know when my passion vine will start to grow? It died back to the ground.
With the unusual cold that happened in many areas this past winter, it is possible that the plant did not survive the winter. If you do not see it sprouting by the end of this month, it did not survive.

I'm trying my first passion vine and would like to know how to train it to go up an old wood playset I have.
Use fabric ties or pantyhose to tie stems to the structure until the plant naturally does this on its own. Choose a large stem and bring it as close to a post as possible. When your vine begins climbing up on its own, you will need to prune it regularly. For instance, if the vine begins to get too bushy in one area, trim it back. Likewise, if the vine begins heading in a direction where you do not want it to go, trim back the wayward stem.
How long do the flowers last on an indoor passion flower?
