Q.Transplanting Purple Passion Fruit Vine
Hello, we are in Autumn now with mild temperatures but colder at night. We are moving soon but haven’t found a new home (renting). The plant is 20 months old and is grafted. Will it be ok to dig up now and leave it in a large pot until we find a new place? Can it remain in a large pot instead of in the garden? Thanks,

Only a few varieties of passion flower are winter hardy in gardening zone 6, including Maypop and purple passion vines. If you have one of these, you can plant it outside. Planting it in the early spring is the best option, but it is possible to plant outside now if you make sure to mulch the plant to protect it during the winter. Here is more information:
