Passion flower vine?
Since they are vigorous growers, they should be repotted yearly at the start of the growing season. In late September, we move the plants to the cool room for the winter. Water is gradually withheld and the nighttime temperatures are dropped to 48°F (9°C) until all foliage dies back, when the plant should be trimmed back. When new growth starts in the spring, one should repot and resume the watering schedule.
Reply:Yes - they will go dormant during the winter months.



Hold back on watering until spring when new growth appears.
