| I suggest you try this question on the orchid forum. Passion flowers are a very different type of plant. |

| it all depends on the conditions they are grown in. Humidity and temps can all have an influence on the time a flower lasts |

| Is your caerulea in a pot? That may be the reason. 48-58 degrees is nothing for the caerulea. I'm in zone 8b and mine are in the ground. A week ago we dropped down to 32 and today we hit a high of 85. It's covered in flower buds that'll probably open in a week or so. I'm wondering if you might be over-watering? Passis really don't like wet feet. I've had passis in pots that I over-watered, and their leaves started to wilt. So I watered more, thinking they were thirsty, and then they started dropping buds. Even in a pot your cool weather shouldn't affect a caerulea. I'm thinking something else is factoring in here. If not over-watering, then something else. |

| Yes it is in a pot about two feet high wqith a trellis can't spell it.. I tried not watering it thinking that was it heat was intence as well we hit 80-90's here doesn't like so much heat either. Leaves got yellow dried up but only after severe cold drops in temps. I adore this plant it means so much I stick my finger in real deep before watering it feels dry???????? I also read it likes to stay moist and does not like wind or cold makes a great house plant. When it got real cold I brought it back in also thinking each time it was moved pissed it off...Geesh ..It reminds me of me I hate the high humidity and then drop into cold in hours it's crazy here for sure . In a decade we haven''t had severe cold in March ... |
