Question
Hi vito,
I live in Hong Kong in a small apartment. I have this passion flower plant in a pot in my window box which i bought last year. It flowered a lot last year but this year its not beraing any flowers at all. It's growing, but the leaves got a lot smaller, but the whole plant is generally very green and no yellow leaves. Will it everr flower again?

I have some caladiums and purple oxalis in the same sill they seem to love the climate and have been growing like a weed. would that be useful for your judgement as an indication of the environment?

The climate here is warm and humid, subtropical, like 27-33c and 88-90 % humidity in summer,rains a lot, very strong sunshine and we have long summer. winter its drier, like 55-75% humidity and cooler with the lowest of 9c but not often.

thanx for your help
i Really Really anxious and hope that it will grow.
Solomon

Answer
Hi Solomon,

Oxalis and caladium do well in the shade but passion flower needs sun in order to bloom well. I would suggest you try and give it more sun, prune it back a bit and give it some liquid fertilizer if you haven't done so already. In time it will come into bloom again if the plant is healthy.

Regards,

Vito
