New to passion vine

15 years ago

I have recently acquired my first passion vine. It is planted in a large pot with trellis and is presently situated against a south facing stucco wall which gets full sun from about 11 am on. My question is: Is this a too intense light and heat situation for this plant? I am able to move it to a more shaded spot if needed. Also, what are its' requirements as far as fertilizer? Thanks.

Debbie, Congrats on your passie purchase. Which variety did you get? Mine are all in full sun and they seem to thrive there. Some of my passion vines like very little fertilizer and seem to thrive on neglect, while others seem to beg for more attention.
I would just keep an eye on your plant and if it doesn't seem happy in the sun, then gradually move it to a more shadded spot.
