When to plant passionfruit

Posted by joshp Qld Aust (My Page) on

I have a 2-year-old Nellie Kelly that is starting to look quite unwell. It's lost all of its leaves and some vines are dying off. I'm thinking of pulling it up and planting a new one.

Is this the wrong time of year to be doing this? Last time I planted in August and it did well. Will it be okay planting in Autumn?

RE: When to plant passionfruit

Hello Joshp..I bought my neighbour one last week ( Panama Red ) for a get well present so I reckon this is the right time to plant them if Big W is selling them I dont think they are the grafted ones though at $4.95.. You are able to plant potted plants any time of the year..

Your 2YO one is too young to go, has it had enough water, do you give it a little prune, they like to be grown facing the East, maybe you should give it a prune to just below where it is dieing off, and a good water for a while then if it starts sprouting new shoots give it a feed. They will not tolerate poor drainage ( a raised garden bed will help ) poor air circulation, crowding and lack of pruning will increase problems..I dont know if this will help but give the plant a chance you never know .....Cheers...MM.
