Two kinds in one pot?

19 years ago

Hello,

First of all, I don't know what I'm doing. I ordered some passifloras (Sunburst, Worley and Pfordtii, Tiger)and some tropical vines with the hope that they'll put up with me and my vine ignorance. Since I'm zone 5, my plan is to plant them in pots and bring them inside in the fall. Do they put up with this? Now, what if I put Worley and Tiger in the same pot? Is this do-able? Or should I keep them separated?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Jill

Keep 'em separated-- they have fast-growing root systems and will be fighting each other for water like Southwestern municipalities in no time. Also, if one has problems, it won't infect or interfere with the other.

Jim, thanks for the info. Makes sense! Here's another question. I know with most plants when re-potting you don't want to go to a much larger pot than they're already in. If these guys have fast growing root systems does this mean I should go with a larger pot than I think I need?

Thanks!
Jill

No, it's best to pot up as you go.
