We have grown Passion flowers for the first time. We are amazed how they have grown, however, once flowered with a great looking flower, it only lasts for a day then folds back. Is this normal, as we expected to flower for weeks. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you. Best regards Phillip.

Certified ExpertA.A soil test may help determine if certain nutrients are lacking. You can get one at your nearest Extension office. Passion vines are considered heavy feeders so I don't think the compost was a problem. Have you fertilized any other times? Here is an article on fertilization and also on leaves turning yellow. Hope this helps.

New York, NYQ.Tiny black spots on Passion Flower seedling leaf stems
The Passion Flower seedling has three "adult" leaves and looks healthy, but I noticed two if the leaves had tiny black dots on the stems. Looking at them with a 20 power loupe, I still couldn't tell if this was some pest like scale, or part of the leaf. They are very firmly attached. Could someone identify them? I don't want to scrape them off it they belong there, but I want this seedling to be pest-free and healthy. It took ages to germinate and was the only good one in a whole bunch! I have magnified the pictures as much as I could. The actual dots are just barely visible to the naked eye.

Certified ExpertA.Those are, simply, glands. Do not remove those, as they belong on the plant. Many plants have them.

Certified ExpertA.If they don't have a trellis or fence, they may run rampant over the cedar trees. The vines need well-drained soil and full to part sun to perform well. They are hardy in USDA zones 6-11. They will die back in the colder zones but return in spring, often in new places.

September 4, 2019Q.passion flower
Hi, I am raising a bed about 9 inches and do not want to hurt my passion flowers. They are new, only planted about 5 months ago and doing great! These are my first ones and I'm so please with their growth, so I really don't want to end up killing them. Do you think I should dig them up, add the 9in. of soil and replant? Or should I just add the soil as is covering up the bottom part? I really appreciate your time and expertise on this. Thanks so much, Tracy

Certified ExpertA.I think I would dig it up and add the soil, then replant. Try to get as much of the roots as possible.

September 23, 2019Q.Cutting back my passion fruit vine (south west Florida-Purple)
My passion fruit vine was planted on a large arbor in early 2017. It grew like crazy and I tried to train it best I could with soft tying to the arbor...it completely covered the arbor top to bottom. This year not only beautiful but it produced approx. 150 wonderful tasting fruit. Now there is a lot of dead leaves and branches under the top layer of leaves and I want to properly cut it back and prepare for this coming year...do I remove the vine from the top of the arbor? At this point there is very little leaves on the sides and bottom of the arbor...mostly only leaves at the top. How do I go about cutting it back? There are some very thick parts of the vine leading all over the place...help?

Certified ExpertA.I would plant them in the spring after the threat of frost has passed. That way they have a whole summer to get established.
