Anyone ever grown P. mollissima from seed?

15 years ago

Hi All!

I am just looking for information about how to care for my three very small P. mollissima seedlings. They sprouted about 3 weeks ago and are slowly putting on new leaves. One of them died, and I'm a little worried the others will start dying slowly if I don't give them proper growing environment. Right now they're sitting in my closet under lights all day, they get more than 12 hrs of light each day and are in moist soil. Should I let the soil dry out more? Any tips would be great. I'm in z 8b, so I probably wont put them outside until the spring, unless I hear otherwise.

Thanks!

Samantha

Hi Samantha.
Keep the soil moist as P. mollissima (correctly known as P. tripartita var. mollissima) type Passiflora have poor root systems that cannot cope with a big water throughput. I would suggest putting them on a nice sunny window and they would be much happier. Keep them indoors over winter as they are not very frost resistant.
