I just take cuttings about 4 inch and stick them in potting mix, put them somewhere bright, but not direct sunlight and keep them moist. I can't imagine buying all of those products to boost my success rate a few percent. Even if it doubled the success rate, the amount of propagation material you can get from one pruning would still be enough for more vines than anyone could need. A prolific growing plant, at least here in Cyprus anyway.
Thank you so much. This helped. While everyone said the cuttings were not matured, I went by your instructions and lo and behold! All 4 cuttings are growing. So happy 😊
Just simply put the cuttings in water if you can't afford the potting materials. I love your videos and I've been able to succefully modify all examples for good results. Thanks so much!
As always love your videos. I was in Ag-Biz now retired here in Central Valley and growing plants for fun now have picked-up some really good tips from your videos. Blessing Charles!
A detailed and informative video on how to propagate passion fruit from cuttings. It is the most informative video I have encountered in my research. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
I did some cuttings today to replace some pots that had other vines that did not survive the 'winter' in Palm Springs. I cut some of the passion fruit vines to just place in water, however after researching and viewing your input. it makes sense of the procedure to initiate root growth. Thanks for posting.
Just planted some cuttings im so excited I really want this refreshing fruit I've been craving it .... I followed everything you said to a T live in California so excited hope they grow❤
Down company...I followed everything to the point except using the sunblock and super thrive but no rooting yet after a month. There are baby leaves growing though. What are my doing wrong?

I NEED HELP! :) I am lost, my local nursery that is all ways out of stock in the Passiflora section is saying that Maypop = Purple Passion Flower, and this biologist says that this plant here which looks exactly like passiflora Edulis is Purple Pasion Fruit/Flower!? ;) Thanks if you're knowledgable on this comment!
Fantastic info! I cut my entire vine back and made many cuttings last year... only the tip cuttings took! I wondered why but after seeing your informative video, I'll know to just take tip cuttings! I'm on the east coast so my plant doesn't give me fruit.
Hello 👋 And, THANK YOU for the kind words! Yes, the tips of passion fruit cuttings (though more delicate) tend to root & grow a bit faster. Consider rooting other varieties- or joining a local garden club to learn what varieties grow best in your zone, so you can enjoy these delicious home-grown fruits. Charles 🤩
Hi Charles, your videos have changed my life and my back yard inmensely. You are a great teacher because you explain all the details and use tools, products that anybody can purchase. I already purchased the IV Organics paint and will use it in my trees. Because of this, I'm going to start looking for fruits from friends and neighbors and I will make cuttings and grow plants so I can enjoy the fruits as well. Again thanks for your videos.
Vicente Perez de Tudela You made my day!!! Thank you so VERY MUCH for the compliment! I see nearly all the feedback, but rarely have the time to respond to all- but, truly appreciate the chance to be a part of your garden!!! Charles 🌱👍
You don't mention what garden zone you live in but I find them to be pretty drought tolerant because they have a very extensive root system. For me living in zone 8 I water twice a week and the plant does fine. Sometimes I have even skipped watering ends it continues to thrive even compare to the other plans that already wilting in the summer heat
Thank you! I'm going to try this on my potted purple passion house plant. Wish me luck... Very helpful video, I'll come back and watch more of your videos.
Hello, I live in a country which doesn't have a suitable climate for this fruit and a flower. However, I managed to grow it indoors, and I have currently 3 pots in the living room. They are approximately 2 meters long climbing onto the closet. Any tips how to make them grow in a pot to avoid such heights? Can I cut the vines?
Omg I wanna be in your garden group!!! How fun… I’ve always had a green thumb even as a kid but never was interested in gardening but LOVE bright beautiful and weird flowers and plants…. And last year at 35 out of NOWHERE I had a major want to grow those bright beautiful and weird plants/flowers from seed or cuttings…. Now I’m obsessed… ask my kids and hubby… they hate it which is weird and sucks…. It’s so interesting how everyone has their own cuttings mixture recipe, what they claim works “best” with cuttings…
I am lucky to have ran into this video.I was looking for info on passion fruit and I found your video, it was very interesting and I enjoyed it. I decided to subscribe. Thank you!
Passion flower grows crazy here in South East Texas. I planted one, and did not believe that it would spread as far as the info said. So I planted it next to the house -- bad idea. That sucker grabbed hold of the house and the vine grew all the way up to the top of the second floor. It also spread from the main vine and covered the windows. I let it be, because the tendrils do not cause damage. It was crazy. Fortunately, two more ended up popping up from the ground about 8 feet from the house --I am thinking maybe from roots. So I cut down the original vine, to the ground, and I cut it if it tries to sprout. The ones that popped up in the yard got huge also, but at least they are away from the house. This plant makes a gorgeous vine. The leaves are huge and a beautiful shade of green. The flowers on the vine I have, have gotten up to 3.5" in diameter and the whole flower is a beautiful purple. What I call the petals are purple and the fringe is a darker purple. Amazing, and it blooms non stop.
When should I transfer the young passion fruit cuttings after they develop roots to a medium size container (2-3 gallon) or to a large size (5-8 gallon)? When do you recommend planting them into the ground? I have 4 main passion fruit vines growing on a pergola. I have a lot of cuttings that I will be propagating.
Thank you very much Sir. I really appreciate the way you explained the whole system about growing passion fruit. I live in Orlando Florida and I want to know what month when I should start planting ? Please kindly help me with feedback. .
Maybe try moss without peat - equally good. Peat bogs are in danger as a unique natural habitat as well as capturing and storing carbon. Just a thought. Thanks for the top tips 🌸
I agree, Passion Flower vines are easy and I also have the red ..(central Florida.) The cattapillars are eating them because it's a host plant...more butterflies to come. Today, I purchased a smaller One called the Corky Stem Passion Flower vine from a native plant sale in Brooksville...
Hi, l am new to your channel & enjoyed this video very much. Your tips & tricks are great, so l will be making cuttings from my existing passion fruit vine & hopefully sharing them with friends & family. Peace & blessings to you & your family. You have earned yourself a big thumbs up from me, your new subscriber from Melbourne, Australia. 👍👏🏼🌏😀
Nice video. I'm a bit confused about the need for a sunblock though. I've only ever grown cuttings in a warm shady spot. My understanding is that cuttings should be kept in the shade and given bottom heat if the weather is cold, never in the sun. Are passion fruit vines different?
At the end of this video you mentioned that the families will enjoy fruits by next year. That's great that your plants can bear fruit inside of a year! Unless of course I misunderstood. I think mine will take 3 to 5 years.
Typically takes one year to grow a good root system that will produce growth and blooms. Easiest way is to dig some root in the fall and plant it for spring. Caution, these passion vines with an established and extensive root system, can become extremely vigorous growers to 20-30 feet and will take over your fence. Plant them in full sun. They do freeze but return in spring.
@@CP-tl2sz Omigoodness thank you. I did grow that vine and it gave fruit the first season, not a lot but some. Currently I have patio space alone but have my vine in a huge container. It’s approaching year 3 and I got about 40 Flowers this season and of those about half fertilized. There are two preying mantises in residence and they are scaring away/eating the pollinators. I don’t have the heart to kick them off my property so I go out there and hand pollinate the passion flowers. Thx for responding.
I have great vines but didn't know how to prune or propagate. These two videos have given me the info I need. Incidentally, the juice makes great jam or passion fruit curd. I also use it as a syrup over vanilla ice cream. thank you for this help.
Very interesting, will be doing some passion fruit cuttings. Any tips about germinating cape gooseberries from seeds? I tried putting the seeds shallow and lightly covered with soild and sparyed water on top daily but not much results. Thanks!!!!!
The spread of bad plant info on UA-cam is invasive (pun intended). Thankful to find someone who knows what they’re talking about and can speak to the science behind growing plants!
I had a great harvest last yr well 2001 this yr. I see a lot of dead vines, my question is should I remove all the dead vines. There is a lot of new growth so I don’t know if it’s ok to remove the seamingly dead vines or should I just leave it alone ? Please help it the first of march and last yr it was full of fruit in April. I watch you a lot great videos and good information. Thanks
Thank you Amy Mao for subscribing! :) Please keep me posted on your next attempt at propagating plants!!! Looking forward to hearing your gardening successes! And Happy New Year! :) Charles
What a great video! Thank you and I look forward to planting our first little guy tomorrow. Also concrete bound here in Los Angeles and love your entire garden.
Thank you! My neighbor has the most gorgeous passion vine ever and I’m going to see if she will give me a cutting! Can you post the name & brand of the sunblock for plants you used? I tried to get a pic…
Not like a little snip of a section is going to be missed. These things grow like MAD! I'm in hot Phoenix, where not too much grows during the summer. This vine (Fredrick variety) takes the heat. As long as it is watered, it could care less about the blazing Arizona sun. I have one that is maybe a year and a half in the ground. It is covering about 20 foot of wall and now I'm training it up over two new pergolas I bought. I'm watching this video to learn how to do cuttings so when it eventually dies, I will have new vines growing to replace it and also to put some new ones elsewhere in my yard. Before this. I had 2 of them on my back wall and they were gorgeous, spreading out along the wall and cooling it and they were just starting to put out flowers. Then, the city sprayed for weeds on the other side of the fence (road side) and must have gotten in on the passions that were climbing over the fence wall and it killed both of them. So, now I have this new one on the wall bordering the neighbors.
My plants seem a lot more tender than yours, I assume it's because this is their first year, but they are blooming great. I accidentally killed one by over fertilizing and would like to start some cuttings from the healthy ones. It's the middle of August and I'm in south Louisiana (hot and humid). Can I make cuttings from my tender leaders? If I cut them, will they branch? We still have 3 months of growing season left, so I'd hate to damage the healthy ones if they won't branch off at the cut.
Great video. I have a couple questions. One being do passion fruit plants require full sun when planting. My 2nd question in regards to the IV Organics can that be used on Dragon Fruit Plants to prevent sun burn. Your response to my questions will greatly be appreciated. Thank you
thank you for this demo. i am returning my second passion fruit plant. they each cost $22.98 from home depot. building a trellis, is what i have to do next, and that,s addition money. much love and god,s peace be with you.
i think 1 is more than enough i use to have Frederick type over 45 feet long and could be a lot more i think i paid 15 dollars in chino out door swapmeet now i. have annother kind is call edulis and ligularis yellow and orange. on edulis i get 1 big cutting and buried cut off the leaves around and get another plant from that stronger and ticker.
Question🤔 can I propagate larger cuttings at least a foot tall? It seems that the small cuttings will take long to grow. Very helpful video. thank you😊
Thank you for the great video! I have a couple questions. How do i find the growers club you spoke about? I live in Hollywood. Also do you still donate clippings to the growers club? I would be ver interested in getting one.
Hello Rosa, I just noticed your comment... Thank you so much for the kind remark! :-) Here is another video that I prepared that also discusses the cutting method of propagating plants: ua-cam.com/video/FduD1idqIIs/v-deo.html However, the best way of propagating MOST ANY plant is a technique called air layering, and here is a video demonstrating that technique: ua-cam.com/video/rOjf7LliPmM/v-deo.html If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! :-) Charles
Thanks for your informative videos. I live in San Diego County (zone 10a). I want to propagate from cuttings passiflora, bougainvillea and star jasmine. Is it too late in the year for this (mid October)? I apologize if you mentioned this in your video. I have it running in the background while working and am not catching every detail.
Good morning, just saw your video on propagating passion fruit. My two are in pots and not doing so well. Should I plant them in the rocky clay soil of Santee?
Good job with the propagation. Thanks for the informative video. I see that you trimmed the vine to control the directions it grows and for propagation. But may i know how do you know where to trim so that it doesnt affect fruiting? Do you prune only in spring or? Before flowering or after? Does the vine fruit on new shoot growth? Thanks.
Hello Au0rey, I have pruned in both Fall & Spring.... and many of the vines I pruned in the Fall failed to grow in the spring. It is as if I removed too many of the "solar panels" (the leaves) during the coldest and shortest light days of the year, that the vines quickly failed following pruning. The best results are to prune once the vine becomes "active" in the spring, and after the last chance of frost has passed. Even if there are flowers starting, prune in early spring... and the plant will grow, grow, and grow.... with flowers pushing out on the new growth only.... So the more you cut, the more organized and fruitful your vines will be! Please keep me posted on your passion fruit growing successes! And be sure to create a few cuttings in-ground or in pots, just in case the parent vine dies... As the parent only lives an average 7 years. So be prepared to replace with a new, genetically identical productive and delicious variety. Good luck! Charles
Thanks so much! Hmmm sounds tricky to prune. It's spring for us now and I am not sure what it means by active as the vine is evergreen and has lots of new shoots before spring. I might take some photos before pruning a few shoots to see what happens after that. Thanks Charles!
Hello, I am in Portland Oregon. I'm starting a wellness garden for my nonprofit. I thought a passion fruit would be a great addition. However, I'm terrified if it. I have the Blue Bouquet Passion vine. I swear it doesn't like my yard. it very shaded. I see you have very hardy looking leaves, mine are very dainty and fragile. the only strong part are the tentacles. It's about a year 6 months old. I'm so desperate that I followed this video and propagated as you instructed, about 5 cuttings. I even created little tents for moisture... t Should I put manure in it's pot? I see some yellow leaves, I pick them off and it looks pekid and weak😭... I'm scared to kill it. It's raining now.. can they drown? Help me please!
Hello Black Mental Health Oregon, Keep up the good work!!! I do not recommend adding any manure (or compost) until after their is evidence of roots. The original leaves may go from green to yellow.... But hang in there... Hopefully the stem is still green and will produce some new leaves as the cuttings root. Then, I would recommend that you transplant to a larger pot or in-ground. Your plants can drown if you do not have holes at the bottom of the cup/ container to allow for the excess moisture to pass. You may want to consider taking 2-3 cuttings indoors where it may be warmer and you have more control on moisture. Please keep me posted on your successes! Charles :-)
Sir, I have passion fruit already on a 10 feet × 12 feet 5 feet in height about 3 to 4 years old. On top and side is full of vines on top & sides . It gives flowers but no fruits at all. I can see Bees comes around but nothing happens. What she'll I do? I will be very grateful to you Sir. Thanks .
Hi I have 10 plants which I grew from seeds, but I am worried that it's not going to last as winter is near, do I hv to bring them in or will they survive the cold? Please advise me as to what to do, I live in the uk, can I grow them in pots? Thanks!!
Hi Charles from the UK , I have a passion flower which spreads so fast but it is different from yours with smaller leaves and no fruit , I will try and take a cutting off mine , thanks :o)
Interesting video. I live near Nashville, TN. We have abundant wild passion fruit. The flowers are amazing. I've tried eating it and didn't really care for it and I love fruit. But, I think, now, that maybe it wasn't ripe because my buddy said they were quite good, but need to be wrinkly first. These definitely go dormant and die back to the ground. Or maybe they reseed themselves? It looks like you might be in a tropical location. That's a beautiful plant / banana tree. Can you grow these in temperate climates? And just have 'em die back to the ground each year? I'm looking for some additions to the yard. We also have wild persimmons (I'm going to look into a cultivar) and we have paw paws! Never had those but am psyched to to get / try. Thanks for the video.
Hello Sol Feinberg, Thank you for the compliment! :-) If those passion fruit have been grown from seed, another factor is that no two seeds are are the same-- like children. Preferably, you should be growing cuttings off of known to be delicious varieties of passion fruit, like the 'Common Purple." The fruit typically falls of the vine once it slightly changes from green to purple-- At which time me and my family eat it & love it, even my 3 & 7 year old girls enjoy it! It may be sweeter when it gets wrinkled, however, that could take another 1-3 weeks. My preference is eating it fresher; and possibly a bit more sour - sweet! My passion fruit remain green, year round, and thrive well in growing zones 6 or warmer. Meaning, night time temperatures above 5 degrees F. Regarding adding a persimmon to your garden, consider the FuYu cultivar-- Check out this video from a property in Northern California where I planted this tree about 10 years ago: ua-cam.com/video/yJIPxpwWOak/v-deo.html I love your enthusiasm to grow your own food! Keep me posted on your gardening successes! :-) Charles
I have a passion fruit vine. It has grown wild and invasion in 10 months. It has about 30 fruit(not much). Should I prune it back for next season to get more fruit? If so, how much should we cut it back? It’s probably over 40 feet.
Great information, very easy to understand your explanation. Thank you. I also have a question. I live in Sydney Australia. We have a massive passionfruit vine on our rear fence, the boundary fence with one of our neighbours. This is the first year it has fruited and there is an abundance of fruit, we are just waiting for them to ripen. It’s actually taken about three years for our vine to reach this stage. So we are very excited. BUT, we have a major issue with our neighbour, he wants to replace the fence because he is installing an inground pool. Obviously we don’t want to do this. And this is causing a problem. If the fence does have to go, how can we ensure the vine and it’s fruit are not compromised. Sorry for the long winded message. Thanks, Robyn
The passion vine only lives about 7 years anyway, plus they are so hardy. I'd just try to pull as much of it away from his fence as possible before he starts removing the fence and also make some cuttings like in the video. Once his fence is down, train whatever he didn't destroy up a new trellis on your side of the boundary. Plus, you can add the cuttings that you took to fill in any gaps. Next time, put a trellis just inside your side of the border to begin with, so that your neighbor has no right to remove something you grew.
As long as the roots are not dug up, they will regrow in the spring. Just prepare the trellis or growing area for them to attach in spring. To really keep this plant around, just dig up some of the roots and replant them over the winter in the ground or pots. The root growth will recover and will be much faster for them to return as spring regrowth. Try hanging some of the 3x3 or 3x4 square galvanized cattle panel fencing on your side of the new fence for a trellis. Done this for years.
So a month ago I discovered a Passion Flower climbing out of a tiny 5 inch pot, up a telephone pole for about ten feet and is full of flowers. I assume it will die at first frost…. Because this is in Montreal! I have no idea who put it there…how can I save it?
I just take cuttings about 4 inch and stick them in potting mix, put them somewhere bright, but not direct sunlight and keep them moist. I can't imagine buying all of those products to boost my success rate a few percent. Even if it doubled the success rate, the amount of propagation material you can get from one pruning would still be enough for more vines than anyone could need. A prolific growing plant, at least here in Cyprus anyway.

Very informative, very clear and so helpful. I am going to exactly what you did.
I had a great harvest last yr well 2001 this yr. I see a lot of dead vines, my question is should I remove all the dead vines. There is a lot of new growth so I don’t know if it’s ok to remove the seamingly dead vines or should I just leave it alone ? Please help it the first of march and last yr it was full of fruit in April. I watch you a lot great videos and good information.
Thanks
Dude, I LOVE that banana plant! What a beast!
Yes ours is almost 2 stories high (Zone 9/CA) it blocks off my neighbors spying-window into our front yard and looks amazing.
The red cannas behind you at the end of the video stole the show 😍
Excellent..., mucho gracious! Well done 🙏
Thank you so much ! This video really helped me a lot... God bless...!
Thank you so much for the compliment Sarmi Bhatt! God bless you too!
Charles :-)
I would LOVE to see you grow cacao trees since you are in a more southern environment. How cool would it be and a great addition to your channel...
Thank you! I have Maypops growing all over our area naturally and have dug up and transplanted some but wanted to learn how to propagate them.
Wow, love the video! Do these vines make passion fruit? Can I just use peat moss to root them?
Hi Charles. Doesn’t the stem needs to be matured in order for it to too?
Very nice garden ,very good explaination thank you.
Great video, I now know why my last try failed. I will try again following your method. Thank you, and subscribed!
Thank you Amy Mao for subscribing! :) Please keep me posted on your next attempt at propagating plants!!! Looking forward to hearing your gardening successes! And Happy New Year! :)
Charles
What a great video! Thank you and I look forward to planting our first little guy tomorrow. Also concrete bound here in Los Angeles and love your entire garden.
How exciting 🙌 thank you so much for such an inspirational and informative video👍🏻
My is Peter. I have a question want to ask you. I have a golden passion fruit has flowers never become fruits. Even I pollinated the flowers.
Thank you! Now I wait for my passion fruit seeds to sprout and then I will use your method!
Thank you! My neighbor has the most gorgeous passion vine ever and I’m going to see if she will give me a cutting! Can you post the name & brand of the sunblock for plants you used? I tried to get a pic…
Not like a little snip of a section is going to be missed. These things grow like MAD! I'm in hot Phoenix, where not too much grows during the summer. This vine (Fredrick variety) takes the heat. As long as it is watered, it could care less about the blazing Arizona sun. I have one that is maybe a year and a half in the ground. It is covering about 20 foot of wall and now I'm training it up over two new pergolas I bought. I'm watching this video to learn how to do cuttings so when it eventually dies, I will have new vines growing to replace it and also to put some new ones elsewhere in my yard. Before this. I had 2 of them on my back wall and they were gorgeous, spreading out along the wall and cooling it and they were just starting to put out flowers. Then, the city sprayed for weeds on the other side of the fence (road side) and must have gotten in on the passions that were climbing over the fence wall and it killed both of them. So, now I have this new one on the wall bordering the neighbors.
My plants seem a lot more tender than yours, I assume it's because this is their first year, but they are blooming great. I accidentally killed one by over fertilizing and would like to start some cuttings from the healthy ones. It's the middle of August and I'm in south Louisiana (hot and humid). Can I make cuttings from my tender leaders? If I cut them, will they branch? We still have 3 months of growing season left, so I'd hate to damage the healthy ones if they won't branch off at the cut.
Great video. I have a couple questions. One being do passion fruit plants require full sun when planting. My 2nd question in regards to the IV Organics can that be used on Dragon Fruit Plants to prevent sun burn. Your response to my questions will greatly be appreciated. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your videos Have a wonderful time ~^❤❤❤
So informative!! Had to sub!! ❤️❤️ thanks for the knowledge!!
thank you for this demo. i am returning my second passion fruit plant. they each cost $22.98 from home depot. building a trellis, is what i have to do next, and that,s addition money. much love and god,s peace be with you.
Hello Rafiqa11,
I am happy to help you save some money!!! $
Much love and God's peace be with you too! :)
Charles
i think 1 is more than enough i use to have Frederick type over 45 feet long and could be a lot more i think i paid 15 dollars in chino out door swapmeet now i. have annother kind is call edulis and ligularis yellow and orange. on edulis i get 1 big cutting and buried cut off the leaves around and get another plant from that stronger and ticker.
Question🤔 can I propagate larger cuttings at least a foot tall?
It seems that the small cuttings will take long to grow.
Very helpful video.
thank you😊
hello ,thanks to explain us but to grow it from branches do we put water in the pot ?!
can we use this size of cups for raspberries and blackberries cuttings too?
Wow! Thank you for your very informative video. I am learning a lot here watching from Mombasa, Kenya!
do you have a video on how to plant ginger ... I never have luck ..:) thank you
Thank you for sharing what a beautiful garden
WELL DONE GREAT VIDEO.THANK YOU FOR YOUR USEFULL INFORATIONS ,KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK.
Thank you for the great video! I have a couple questions. How do i find the growers club you spoke about? I live in Hollywood. Also do you still donate clippings to the growers club? I would be ver interested in getting one.
Love this video, learn a lot from this. Thank you Charles.
Can you grow passion fruit in a pot to control growth better?
Thank you Charles for the tips in gardening. It is very helpful. Where do I see you video on hibiscus cuttings and propagating? Thank you so much.
Hello Rosa,
I just noticed your comment... Thank you so much for the kind remark! :-)
Here is another video that I prepared that also discusses the cutting method of propagating plants: ua-cam.com/video/FduD1idqIIs/v-deo.html However, the best way of propagating MOST ANY plant is a technique called air layering, and here is a video demonstrating that technique: ua-cam.com/video/rOjf7LliPmM/v-deo.html If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! :-)
Charles
Where did you get your original plant? Is it from the store or starting from seeds? Thanks
Thanks for your informative videos. I live in San Diego County (zone 10a). I want to propagate from cuttings passiflora, bougainvillea and star jasmine. Is it too late in the year for this (mid October)? I apologize if you mentioned this in your video. I have it running in the background while working and am not catching every detail.
Good morning, just saw your video on propagating passion fruit. My two are in pots and not doing so well. Should I plant them in the rocky clay soil of Santee?
Most informative how-too’s! Thank you so much❤️
I lived here in Ventura...I wished I can buy your clippings...
Tanks all numbers
This technique it's valid for every kind of passiflora? Or just for that one in particular? Hi from Chile pd: i have passiflora cerulea
Good job with the propagation. Thanks for the informative video. I see that you trimmed the vine to control the directions it grows and for propagation. But may i know how do you know where to trim so that it doesnt affect fruiting? Do you prune only in spring or? Before flowering or after? Does the vine fruit on new shoot growth? Thanks.
Hello Au0rey,
I have pruned in both Fall & Spring.... and many of the vines I pruned in the Fall failed to grow in the spring. It is as if I removed too many of the "solar panels" (the leaves) during the coldest and shortest light days of the year, that the vines quickly failed following pruning. The best results are to prune once the vine becomes "active" in the spring, and after the last chance of frost has passed. Even if there are flowers starting, prune in early spring... and the plant will grow, grow, and grow.... with flowers pushing out on the new growth only.... So the more you cut, the more organized and fruitful your vines will be! Please keep me posted on your passion fruit growing successes! And be sure to create a few cuttings in-ground or in pots, just in case the parent vine dies... As the parent only lives an average 7 years. So be prepared to replace with a new, genetically identical productive and delicious variety. Good luck! Charles
Thanks so much! Hmmm sounds tricky to prune. It's spring for us now and I am not sure what it means by active as the vine is evergreen and has lots of new shoots before spring. I might take some photos before pruning a few shoots to see what happens after that. Thanks Charles!
Hello,
I am in Portland Oregon. I'm starting a wellness garden for my nonprofit. I thought a passion fruit would be a great addition. However, I'm terrified if it. I have the Blue Bouquet Passion vine. I swear it doesn't like my yard. it very shaded.
I see you have very hardy looking leaves, mine are very dainty and fragile. the only strong part are the tentacles. It's about a year 6 months old.
I'm so desperate that I followed this video and propagated as you instructed, about 5 cuttings. I even created little tents for moisture... t
Should I put manure in it's pot? I see some yellow leaves, I pick them off and it looks pekid and weak😭... I'm scared to kill it. It's raining now.. can they drown?
Help me please!
Hello Black Mental Health Oregon,
Keep up the good work!!! I do not recommend adding any manure (or compost) until after their is evidence of roots. The original leaves may go from green to yellow.... But hang in there... Hopefully the stem is still green and will produce some new leaves as the cuttings root. Then, I would recommend that you transplant to a larger pot or in-ground. Your plants can drown if you do not have holes at the bottom of the cup/ container to allow for the excess moisture to pass. You may want to consider taking 2-3 cuttings indoors where it may be warmer and you have more control on moisture. Please keep me posted on your successes! Charles :-)
Sir, I have passion fruit already on a 10 feet × 12 feet 5 feet in height about 3 to 4 years old. On top and side is full of vines on top & sides . It gives flowers but no fruits at all. I can see Bees comes around but nothing happens. What she'll I do? I will be very grateful to you Sir. Thanks .
Hi I have 10 plants which I grew from seeds, but I am worried that it's not going to last as winter is near, do I hv to bring them in or will they survive the cold? Please advise me as to what to do, I live in the uk, can I grow them in pots? Thanks!!
Hi Charles from the UK , I have a passion flower which spreads so fast but it is different from yours with smaller leaves and no fruit , I will try and take a cutting off mine , thanks :o)
Nic Nak Hello 👋 Also, try to get cuttings from other fruiting varieties! Enjoy beautiful flowers, plus GREAT tasting fruit!!! 😋
Charles 🌱👍
I have all my supplies! Including my IV Organic 3 in 1 Plant Guard. The cuttings happen tomorrow!
I did hand pollinate but i see only 4 fruits now, one of which has started to rot at the stem. Can i save it?
Interesting video. I live near Nashville, TN. We have abundant wild passion fruit. The flowers are amazing. I've tried eating it and didn't really care for it and I love fruit. But, I think, now, that maybe it wasn't ripe because my buddy said they were quite good, but need to be wrinkly first. These definitely go dormant and die back to the ground. Or maybe they reseed themselves? It looks like you might be in a tropical location. That's a beautiful plant / banana tree. Can you grow these in temperate climates? And just have 'em die back to the ground each year? I'm looking for some additions to the yard. We also have wild persimmons (I'm going to look into a cultivar) and we have paw paws! Never had those but am psyched to to get / try. Thanks for the video.
Hello Sol Feinberg,
Thank you for the compliment! :-) If those passion fruit have been grown from seed, another factor is that no two seeds are are the same-- like children. Preferably, you should be growing cuttings off of known to be delicious varieties of passion fruit, like the 'Common Purple." The fruit typically falls of the vine once it slightly changes from green to purple-- At which time me and my family eat it & love it, even my 3 & 7 year old girls enjoy it! It may be sweeter when it gets wrinkled, however, that could take another 1-3 weeks. My preference is eating it fresher; and possibly a bit more sour - sweet! My passion fruit remain green, year round, and thrive well in growing zones 6 or warmer. Meaning, night time temperatures above 5 degrees F.
Regarding adding a persimmon to your garden, consider the FuYu cultivar-- Check out this video from a property in Northern California where I planted this tree about 10 years ago: ua-cam.com/video/yJIPxpwWOak/v-deo.html I love your enthusiasm to grow your own food! Keep me posted on your gardening successes! :-)

I have a passion fruit vine. It has grown wild and invasion in 10 months. It has about 30 fruit(not much). Should I prune it back for next season to get more fruit? If so, how much should we cut it back? It’s probably over 40 feet.
Great information, very easy to understand your explanation. Thank you.
I also have a question. I live in Sydney Australia. We have a massive passionfruit vine on our rear fence, the boundary fence with one of our neighbours.
This is the first year it has fruited and there is an abundance of fruit, we are just waiting for them to ripen.
It’s actually taken about three years for our vine to reach this stage. So we are very excited.
BUT, we have a major issue with our neighbour, he wants to replace the fence because he is installing an inground pool.
Obviously we don’t want to do this. And this is causing a problem.
If the fence does have to go, how can we ensure the vine and it’s fruit are not compromised.
Sorry for the long winded message. Thanks, Robyn
The passion vine only lives about 7 years anyway, plus they are so hardy. I'd just try to pull as much of it away from his fence as possible before he starts removing the fence and also make some cuttings like in the video. Once his fence is down, train whatever he didn't destroy up a new trellis on your side of the boundary. Plus, you can add the cuttings that you took to fill in any gaps. Next time, put a trellis just inside your side of the border to begin with, so that your neighbor has no right to remove something you grew.
As long as the roots are not dug up, they will regrow in the spring. Just prepare the trellis or growing area for them to attach in spring. To really keep this plant around, just dig up some of the roots and replant them over the winter in the ground or pots. The root growth will recover and will be much faster for them to return as spring regrowth. Try hanging some of the 3x3 or 3x4 square galvanized cattle panel fencing on your side of the new fence for a trellis. Done this for years.
Wow a lot of drops of superthrive.
My passion fruit is turning yellow this year and not ripening.. any suggestions on how to fix it?
Very nice, love all the detail!
So a month ago I discovered a Passion Flower climbing out of a tiny 5 inch pot, up a telephone pole for about ten feet and is full of flowers. I assume it will die at first frost…. Because this is in Montreal! I have no idea who put it there…how can I save it?
Thx - great tutorial!
Love you video…very informative.
