Passiflora edulis Potting Soil?

Hi,

I am ready to pot two Passiflora Edulis seedlings and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to what to use for soil. I was thinking of adding some sand and perlite to the miracle grow potting mix that I have and then topping the pot off with peat. IÂm not sure what ratios to use and was hopping for some suggestions or alternatives since this is just a guess.

Thanks,

JP

Miracle grow's pretty good straight, in my expierience. Just watch it doesn't hold too terrible much water- altho my one big caerulea's growing in a spot that's almost a swamp as the spigot dripps there all the time.

Just wait till the tendrils start to droop then give it water & you'll be alright.
