Passion Fruit Possum Purple Price Includes Four (4) Plants

Plant came healthy! I bought this month's ago and I am impressed. We have had several freezing or below freezing days here and only the new growth died back a small amount. I would definitely buys from this seller again

Unbelievable growth and beauty...will order again for sure. The plants were a few inches tall when I purchased them, the size of myf fore finger, now look at the growth. see image. Fabulous buy.. i first put them each in a small pot each (a few inch pot) then when it grew a few more inches, I put them each in a little bigger pot of their own.. As they grew I increase the size of the pot. I kept them watered regularly because in florida plants dry out. I gave them daily sun but not hot hot heat... Wow, I love the results and will get some more shortly.. today, they graduated to their new pot. Pretty soon, my yard will be an orchard as I planted lots of fruit trees too. Update 3 months later in July 2018. Tremendous growth and unbelievable progress . See pictures. When i first purchased the plants 3 months ago they were only a few inches. I nurtured them to larger pots as the growth got taller. See them now! They are taller than my privacy fence. I tied the vine to guide the growth horizontal over the trellis I built. The quality of the plant is incredible. Update..I forgot to show pics ( the pic with the red mulch) when they were small, so here you go. I had repotted them twice by then. whEn I first got the plants they were the size of you forefinger. July 29 update, see pics growing beautifully on a 6 ft pole with solid wire mesh UPDATE AUG 11. see 2 new pic, growing so healthy..in just four months..plants were purchased in April and was the size in my pinky finger but look at them now.

These arrived very alive and well rooted. All four are doing very well. I planted one in a large pot, and the others in the ground. Some bugs have eaten some of the leaves, but they have been growing fast enough to outgrow the damage. I bought these because I know it is very difficult to get the seeds from this plant to germinate, and I am glad I did.

Ordered these 4 month ago. They arrived looking fine. I immediately replanted them into containers and took very good care of them indoors for about 3 weeks. New leaves were growing and they seemed happy so I transplanted them outside in multiple spots (no risk of frost in my area). I noticed they stalled and slowly started to decline. Ultimately I gently pulled one out to see how the roots were doing and discovered that they were wrapped in some sort of synthetic fiber cloth (almost like landscaping weed barrier) and the roots couldn't get out. I don't know why anyone would wrap the root ball in this type of material as it completely strangled the plants. I'm just hoping I caught it in time that they'll recover. Overall, these were good plants so I'm still giving three stars but please find a better alternative for the soil/roots.

All plants arrived alive, with moist soil and looked good. All 4 plants survived, have already been planted and have taken root, with green leaves. However, they are small and take a very long time to grow.

Day one: They look great! Small and young but healthy. 9-10"h. They appears to have been pulled from small cell seedling trays as the roots were reaching rootbound. Rich soil was left in the root balls. Shipped in a box with plastic wrapped around the roots during mid-90s FL temperatures with no apparent stress. I am no expert but the sellers seem to know what they are doing. Very impressed.

If you live in a hot climate (I am in southern AZ), purchase in late fall, winder, VERY early spring. They will not survive otherwise. I've purchased this item (from the same vendor: "Hello Organics") twice. The first time was in February 2019 (a little over 3 years ago), and the 2nd in June of last year. SHIPMENT #1: Feb 2019. These arrived a couple of days before they were scheduled to. I checked the shipping status almost daily and it NEVER indicated that it was going to arrive sooner. Hello Organics (vendor) sends these via regular mail without any indication that there is a plant inside or something fragile in it, etc. Mailperson sticks in mailbox like any normal package, as if it were a book, for example. My mailbox isn't directly in front of the house. I check it frequently, but not daily. I just happened to have swung by that morning after they were delivered. I can calculate they spent some 18 hours in the mailbox. Plants were wilted, very droopy. After battling to save them, ONLY ONE SURVIVED. SHIPMENT #2: June 2021. I made it a point to check my mailbox daily near the time the mailperson usually delivers. On some days I'd be there waiting as she came by. This time they arrived on the stated date. I was, however, about 3 hours late. Same as with the previous batch, I battled to keep them alive. ONLY ONE SURVIVED. PICTURES: I've attached a picture of each of the survivors. The one from the 1st shipment is thriving on the trellis I built for it. My goal is to fill that whole (east-facing) wall with passion fruit vines. This picture doesn't do it justice. It burns easily in the cold, especially when with frost. I will update the picture when it regenerates in the next couple of months. But the actual plant (stick) is green. It reaches 6 feet up and spans some 25 feet across and am constantly comb the vine sideways to prevent it from hopping the wall and getting on neighbor's trees. The one from the 2nd shipment is doing okay. After nearly a year, it continues to be in a small pot that I keep mostly indoors, protecting it from the extreme hear and extreme cold. It is a little over a foot long. I will be planting it some 6 feet or so away from the one that survived the 1st shipment. My 1-star Rating: These really should be shipped with the same care as when someone orders roses or some sort of flower arrangement. At the very least, a note to place in front of door or using a carrier that delivers to the address, not mailbox. It's not right that only 1/4 of my purchase is viable. And actually, that remains to be seen, as the 3 year old plant hasn't blossomed yet. I will make sure to update this post when it does, and also when it fruits. My suggestion, search for these at a local nursery or store.

I heeded the warnings of the other reviews and ordered these in spring, and I'm glad I did. I managed to get all 4 plants to survive. I gave one to a friend who also gardens when I first got them and just gave another to my church (the name comes from "Passion of Christ" and a lot of the pastors there like plants, so I thought it would be perfect) and the two I kept are doing great. my experience so far is that leaving the plant under a grow light for 10-12 hours a day makes it grow like crazy (I have one on my nightstand where it can't get sun and usually just leave the light on from dawn to dusk) and deep watering once a week with a bunch of all-purpose fertiliser once every other week and well-draining soil work well. I'm using an 11-inch pot for the one on my nightstand and plan to move the other to an 8-inch once I get space, but from what I've read, you should use the biggest pot possible for your space. also, apparently this variety is self-pollinating, so if they all survive delivery, you'll be free to only keep one and still get fruit. mine didn't do too well outside, but that was probably just because I kept forgetting to fertilise it. I've also heard these grow like crazy once they're established so be prepared for a lot of pruning. also, I read that these take about 19 months to fruit but, from the way my one is growing, I'm doubting that. also read that fruit should be picked once it turns wrinkly but before it falls off the vine. sorry if a lot of this stuff is like basic knowledge, just wanna make sure ppl know how to care for these bc I've seen bad reviews on amazon where it was just the customer not using the product right and blaming the seller for some reason
