How Do Passion Flowers Grow

Most people associate passion flowers with romantic settings, but they can be tricky to grow! That’s why we’ll go over some basic tips here for growing any kind of flower. These include tangerine poinsettias, spider lilies, red zinnia, and more!

If you are looking to start your own collection, these plants are not too difficult to find at most florists or home gardening stores. Some even have plant sales every year!

But what makes a good passion plant?

There is no one definition, but there are several traits that make a plant stand out.

Most importantly, it should show consistent growth. This could mean larger leaves or thicker stems, or both.

It should also put up lots of buds which develop into beautiful flowers. If a plant doesn’t produce much, then you will need to wait longer than if it was high in productivity.

Lastly, passion plants should grow quickly. A slow-growing plant may take months before it blooms, and users will be waiting for it to do so.

Sun or shade

Most passion flower plants will only grow in either direct sunlight or indirect (shade) sun. This is because these plants need very strong light to thrive and survive.

If your plant does not get enough light, it will slowly lose its green color and become more and more brown. It can also suffer from leaf drop, which means it will stop growing leaves and therefore should be considered lost.

Avoid letting your plant spend too much time under low-light conditions as this may cause death for your plant.

Plant in a container

After your plant comes back strong from poofing, you will need to find a pot for it! Finding the right pot depends on whether the plant is a beginner or advanced grower. If this is its first season then looking into low-cost clear pots is ideal as they are not typically made of glass.

A general rule of thumb is to use at least two inches of soil per one inch of roots in the plants’ area. This way, the plant does not have to struggle to get enough food and oxygen due to lack of space. Make sure to check out size charts to determine if these new plants require a bigger pot than what they came with!

For more experienced growers, look up pictures and descriptions of plants that are similar to how yours should look like before buying them! Plants are individuals so make sure to read about their growth habits too.

Buy plants

There are many ways to begin investing in passion flowers, with most people starting by buying plants. While it may seem expensive at first, plant stores online and offline offer great discounts, making it worth your money!

Most plants can be divided into two types: deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous plants grow down for winter, which makes them good candidates for spring planting. Evergreens remain constant through all weather conditions, which is why they keep growing and thriving during this time of year.

Many people start by purchasing deciduous plants before moving onto evergreen ones. This article will talk about how to take care of both types of flower easily.

Grow in a pot

This is one of the most common ways to grow passion flowers. A pot can be made out of almost any material, but we suggest using porous materials like ceramic or clay so that you can add water and growth media for the plant later.

Passion flower plants will need around 1-2 cups of high quality soil per 4 inches of pot diameter. Make sure to mix your soil up as needed so that it does not become hard.

Tip: When watering your passion flower, do not let the plant dry out! If necessary, use a small machine or hand sprayer to wet the leaves and stem.

Growth medium such as coco powder can be added into the soil to promote root development.

Grow in the ground

There are two main ways to grow passion flowers. One is growing them as a cactus, which requires very specific conditions that depend on the flower kind you want to grow.

The other way is growing them in soil. This can be done either in pot-based growth or direct soil growth.

With both of these types of plants, there must be enough sunlight for they will not thrive. It also helps if the area has some amount of water so they do not die due to lack of rainfall.

When planting your passion plant in the soil, make sure to add enough nutrients to keep it thriving. They will need around three parts per ten parts dirt ratio.

Care of passion flowers

As mentioned before, there are several types of passion flower plants. These include Astrantia, Calycanthus, Callistemon, Nerium, and Protea. All require similar care to grow well.

Just like other flowering plants, they need light to thrive. In fact, most can be placed in direct sunlight.

However, indirect sun is better for some so they will not burn or brown. If this happens, try moving it under a tree or cover it with a potting mix or cloth.

Passion flowers also need water to flourish. Let them get just enough water to make droplets come off the leaves!

When growing new plants, use one small cup of soil per two inches of passion flower plant. Make sure to check out our tips here for more growth tricks.
