Does anybody know a way to get a passionfruit vine to flower?

The vines are vigorous enough as I have fed them everything under the Sun....as the soil is sandy and barren. I live in Perth and am wondering if the 6 weeks of extreme heat we have had has something to do with it.

The vines are planted into an old Kuikuyu (sp.) lawn which I fear too may be competing for food.

If your lawn fertilizer is getting into the vine's area it will produce pretty green leaves but no flowers.



You say you are feeding your vine. Perhaps you are doing too much. Leave it alone this year, just water it. But most of all, do not let lawn fertilizer get inti its bed.
Reply:They will flower and produce fruit when the length of day and the temperature are what they like. and then 60=90 days later you will have tomatoes
Reply:I think it might take a season or so to flower? I live on the Gold Coast and we had them on our fence - grew like a weed, had so many flowers and fruit...... Our soil is quite sandy and we didn't water them too much.



Good luck
