Full StoryI have been having a few problems, and would really appreciate any help that could be offered.
1.) One of my caerulea's is getting these weird blotches on the leaves, flowers, stipules, and bracts. The flowers are rather nice looking, but is this a problem?
2.) An incarnata that I got in Virginia and planted in a pot down here in Florida is having unhealthy-looking growth on the growing tips. They start off normal, but then start to skrew around and shrivel up. What could be the problem and what can I do?
3.)Finally, my racemosa, which I think might be Passiflora racemosa 'Carioca', wasn't doing so good where I had it in the ground, since I did not get any sun throughout the whole day, being very small. After its only growing tip turned yellow and fell off, it has refused to grow. So, I potted it up so that I could move it around, as seen in the picture. I have read that P. racemosa does not flower well unless planted right into the ground or in a large pot. Might this pot be big enough?
