How Do You Propagate A Passion Flower Vine?
The passionflower vine is a semi-tropical plant that bears small, bright flowers and broad, sparse leaves. In cold climates, it should be kept in a greenhouse or other temperature-controlled areas, but can be summered outside. In warm climates, the passionflower adds brightness to any garden, either in the ground or in a pot. Though passionflower vines can be propagated with seeds, it takes several years for delicate seedlings to reach the safety of adulthood. Take a cutting from a mature passionflower vine in mid-spring. Choose a mid-spring cutting with new, green growth at the tip and semi-firm growth near the end. Snip a 7-inch long cutting just below a leaf. A cutting with buds near the end has the best chance of rooting. Pluck the leaves gently from the bottom 3 inches of the cutting. Make a shallow cut about an inch long up the side of the vine’s cut end. Dip just the cut end in rooting hormone, either powder or gel. Dampen the cutting before using powder to help it stick.
