Default passion flower cuttings

i also rooted them by putting the cuttings in a jar of water,they take about
three week to root,then just pot them up in 3 inch pots.They root very
easy.Also if you have a established passion flower which fruits,let the
fruits mature they will drop seed and grow themselves,i have loads of
seedling popping up everywere i have to pull them out like weeds!
have fun keith

Yes very easy.. I've just taken a load of cuttings.. though I did do it
during that warm period we've had recently and they are rooted already.

I cut just below a leaf joint (node), removed any young tendrils and
flowers as well as the lower sets of leaves, dipped the the end into
rooting powder and inserted round the edge of a 'half pot' into a mix of
multipurpose and perlite. Compost was kept just moist until roots showed
at the base of the pot.


I have managed to root some in the past by doing the same as Jim but just
putting them in a glass of water on a south facing window sill.
