We grow Passiflora outside here, there are only a couple species that can handle the cold though.
I grow another 5 or 6 species inside too, they do grow fast. I should try to post some pictures of them.
What species are you growing?

Passiflora Incarnata can be grown small. Mine with the flower and fruit is only 4 feet tall and you can trim them. The caerulea is the really big one.

That's what I was hoping to see. I want something that will stay small and won't mind growing indoors eight months every year.
Does the pot need to be so big ?
Thanks for sharing.

That pot is actually a small one inside another one the outter pot is just to hold the tomato ring They are a vine after all, you do kinda want it to grow more then a few feet lol. Grow it up your wall on hooks and strings

Perfect. I thought they formed some kind of giant root structure hence the big pot. lol.
Cheers.

I wanted to show this kinda blurry microscopic picture I took today. In the middle is an immature c1-c4? Copepod , it's the larger one with the tail. The smaller white dots are the "droplets" of N1-N6 copepods There's a couple of C6 copepods my cultures right now but the cultures are still fairy fresh and this litter of babies is only 1-3 days old so they are still juvenile. I've kinda gone nuts with culturing them I had a few give birth and their breeding cycle is just over a week so it really doesn't take long to have millions aha This is one of my copepod cultures Yes all those specs are copepods..
