Possible reasons for not blooming:
Too much nitrogen fertilizer. Passion flower vines need very little fertilizer. I have them growing wild here at my nursery and they are never fed and grow in the worst places. Not enough light Not enough heat Season too short Make your words soft and sweet; you just may have to eat them someday. |

What species or hybrid do you have? Some passiflora bloom when only 6" - 12" and others must get to be massive (several branches 10' to 30') and several years old. Depending on the species you can fertilize and still get many flowers per day. Most passiflora bloom on new growth - there are some exceptions. The time of year will also be a factor.
