Growing passiflora.

Growing passiflora

Somehow brought home escape, which broke away from adult passiflora growing in the open soil. It cut it into small fragments, on each - two kidneys. I planted in a soil consisting of a working peat ingredient tablet, mixed in half with sand. Plunged on one kidney, the other with the leaf

it remained on the surface. Not covered. It was in February, and the cuttings rooted about three weeks. When the roots were filled with a capacity of 100 ml, transplanted the cuttings into a large. In it, they grew on the southern windowsill until the landing in the open ground.

I moved to the garden at about late April. The landing jama prepared the size of "on the shovel". At the bottom I was poured a little fruit and sand, stirred with. Two tablespoons of complex fertilizer. Sucked out, blocking a little, watered.

Passiflora was actively growing in June. Collars from July to November. Each flower was holding two days. Color determined that it is a blue passiflora, or a cavalier star. The berry all summer did not start, only at the end of November decided to please the couple.

The big plus passiflora is that it blooms on the twigs of this year, therefore it is not afraid of trimming and frozen shoots. In order not to extinge, it can be covered, like roses, cutting a pre-'large part.

My passiflora, landed with a 10-centimeter stalk, for the summer died to 4 m in length. Ideal for decorating arbors and fences, cling to supports with the help of mustaches. In the spring I cut off, leaving about half a meter above the ground.
