Passion Flower Bud Drop: Light and Fertilizer Balance

Common Causes

• Excess nitrogen promotes leaves over flowers.
• Insufficient direct sunlight.
• Natural variability: some years bloom heavily, others sparsely.

Improvements

• Reduce fertilizer; use low-N, high-P formula.
• Maximize direct sun exposure.
• Accept natural cycles; don't force bloom.

Note

High-phosphorus fertilizer doesn't reliably increase passion flower blooms.
