How do I get the passion flower to bloom?

Certified ExpertA.I would look, first, to a fertilization issue. They will need higher amounts of phosphorus, and potassium to flower properly. An all purpose will be ok, though.

October 7, 2017Q.Passion flower vine
I planted a vine with white and purple. It was a much smaller flower than I was used to. I lost my original in a freeze, unusual in coastal Texas. Which Passion flower should I have purchased to replace the vine attractive to Gulf Frillary Butterflies i lost? Susan

October 8, 2017A.Passiflora lutea, Passiflora incarnata, and Passiflora foetida and others are all attractive to Gulf Fritillary butterflies. Passiflora incarnata is probably the most common in gardens and has large purple flowers. If that's not the one- there are over 200 passion flower species, but the flower colors and appearances can help you find the one you had.

Can I store just the bulbs in a dark place in a paper bag over the winter without any dirt or water.

Certified ExpertA.No, they will not survive. It would be best to put the plants in container, and bring them in to continue growing in a brightly lit window over the winter. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/passion-flower/passion-flower-winter-care.htm

Certified ExpertA.Depending on your climate zone, this can be completely normal as it goes dormant for the winter. Otherwise, breaking the tendrils that it uses to climb can cause this as well. There are many factors that could have contributed to this. If there is any more information that you can offer it would help me to help you better.

Certified ExpertA.There are, actually, a few different methods for trimming these depending on the age of the plant. Dormancy is always a safe time if you are unsure.
This article will give you detailed information on pruning these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/passion-flower/cutting-back-passion-vines.htm

Fairfield, Victoria 3078 AustraliaQ.Passion Fruit Vine problems
Our very well established Vive seems to be having serious issues! The vine has fruit and lots of new growth but has quickly become wilted in the past week. No yellowing of leaves just wilting and shrivelling of the fruit. We don't water the leaves and have kept a decent amount of compost and mulch on it's feet. It has companion plants of self seeded tomatoes and a healthy chili plant growing in close proximity. Help! We don't want to lose it!

January 10, 2018A.Because you mentioned that you have self-seeding tomatoes near your passion vines I would have suspected a problem with Root Knot Nematodes (something to which passion vines as well as tomatoes are highly susceptible), but, without seeing a photo of the vine, I cannot be sure about that. But you definitely should contact your local Cooperative Extension for assistance in getting a diagnosis. Most cooperative extension services are free (or will help you for a minimal cost if a specimen needs to be sent to their university labs).
