Hi there,

I just bought my first passion vine. After seeing it's bloom @ a week ago, it was love at first sight.

When I bought it I was told to keep it in the pot that she came in for fee it may not take well to a move. I just put up a trelles on my patio, trimmed her and are seeing the most beautiful flowers begin to pop! So exciting.

Just want to make sure that I don't damage her in any way...as my husband seems to think I was born with a brown thumb.

Can anyone give me simple tips to help make sure that my beautiful vine stays beautiful?

1. The weather has been hot & humid so I water her daily.

I'm told she needs full sun, however I have her in shade depending on the time of day? Which is best?

2. Would it be best to move her out of her pot? When I got my passiflor, they informed me to leave her where she was for fear that she may not adjust to the change well?

3. In the fall, I'm assuming I need to clip her and take her inside? Then again, someone mentioned, planting her and ensuring she is protected by the winter elements (hay, mulch, cover, etc.)

We are in PA, hot in the summer, cold in the winter...any suggestions for a new Passion Vine Owner?

Thanks, Jen.
