wilting new growth on old passiflora

pescadora
17 years ago

Because of Hurricane Wilma last Fall, I had to severely cut back an old, established profuse blooming passion flower that was in a pot. This Spring I transplanted it into a REALLY LARGE pot, as it was extremely rootbound. It has shown signs of new growth twice - about 3-4 inch vine with tendrils, but after a month or so the new growth just wilts, dries up and dies. The base of the plant is very woody, sturdy and about 8-10 inches long.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?

I have had this plant 4 years and it has always actively sprouted new growth. I did plant some foilage (sweet potato vine)in with it, around the exteme edges, so the pot wouldn't look so barren while waiting for it to spring back to life. Could that be a problem?
