I have one that won't flower

21 years ago

I have a passiflora from Costa Rica that was propogated from cuttings from the mother plant 5 years ago. It stays outside in the summer then is housed in a greenhouse in the winter. It has beautiful folliage, grows like a champ, but has never flowered, or even budded. I prune it back in the winter when I bring it in from the outside and feed it regularly. It gets osmocote and in when i take it outside, i give it bloom booster type fertilizer.

Any suggestions? All my other varieties bloom great and I have had this one the longest. Its frustrating because I'd love to see what it looks like when it blooms so I'll know what type it is. ANY help or advice would be appreciated.

The question is, was the mother plant in Costa Rica seen to have flowers? Some Passiflora from seed never flower. If it is known to flower then of course the cuttings should. Feed it with high potassium fertilizer & grow in a clay pot to improve nutrient adsorption. A picture of the foliage would be of interest.

I've got two that have never flowered for me. One is an edulis the other, who knows...

One is over three years old the other is over two years.

The edulis grows huge glossy leaves that no one believes can be real.

I've tried fertilizing, stressing, overwatering, underwatering....you name it....some of them are just stubborn.
