Lovely plant
I ordered this passion fruit vine and I’m honestly blown away by how healthy it arrived. The plant came well-packaged, leaves intact, no damage, and it looked vibrant straight out of the box. For a young vine, it already has great growth and that classic passionfruit vigor — you can tell it’s ready to take off the moment it gets something to climb. Within a day of settling in, the leaves perked up even more and the whole plant looks strong and eager to grow. I love how full and leafy it is for its size — not a weak, spindly starter at all. It feels like one of those plants that’s going to reward you quickly with tons of new growth once spring hits. If you’ve been thinking about starting a passion fruit vine, this is such a good one to get. Healthy, beautiful, and exactly what I hoped for. I’d absolutely order from this seller again!

Very healthy passion flower plant
I was looking for a passion flower plant for a while i took my chances on this one. It came well packaged. On the Smaller size but, has now trippled in size in a very short time. Living in the northeast the weather gets extremely cold so it is living indoors until spring.

Nope
I've been a gardener for 25 years. I don't normally kill plants. I put this one in a very healthy garden bed and it died.

Struggling Plant
The plant shipment arrived from the courier (USPS) seemingly stressed/dying. The leaves were yellowing and even began turning translucent out of the packaging. The single arm that tethered itself to the provided support was also yellowing and dry. I made sure to plant the vine on the day of arrival and watered it as suggested from the provided instructions. It's been just under a week since I've received and planted the vine with practically all the leaves having withered away and a darker yellow spot developing on the bottom of the main stem. There seems to be a new section of the stem starting growing off of the top, but it's still too soon to tell if it will survive. It has been fairly warm (80 F - 90 F) here this past week with clear skies and some direct sunlight on the plant during the day followed by indirect light and shady conditions with similar weather patterns to continue. I have the plant on an automated drip system, providing water to its base every 3 hours for 10 min to counteract the harsh dry heat. I'll patiently give the plant a couple more weeks to hopefully recover and am open to suggestions (especially from the seller) to improve its chance of survival. I will edit this review and rating in the near future depending on the health of the plant and any potential feedback. 03AUG2024 EDIT - After contacting the nursery through their site, having my plant info forwarded to their greenhouse expert support team and communicating via email, they provided me a gift card for the exact cost of the plant ($20.99) based on the provided warranty. I then repurchased the Granadilla through their site (28JUL2024), and am currently waiting on the plant. Rating has been increased from 3 to 4 stars for the responsiveness, support and feedback. I will further edit this review and rating depending on how the next plant arrives and communication with their team to provide the best conditions for its recovery from the stress of shipping.

Arrived alive and healthy
I bought this on a whim. It's nothing I've seen at the local nursery and what the heck right? It came on an exceptionally hot day, mid 90's and didn't stay in the mailbox long and from the mailman's truck to the house it came out of the box not hot and not wilted or stressed. I've transplanted it in a bigger pot in the shade as recommended and it's doing well so far.

Not fit for Northern California cold.
They were fine during summer om pots. . Unfortunately they died. I think my area of delta northern California is too cold. I tried to move the pots under a plastic covered area but they still died.

Plant arrived well
I was very impressed when the plant arrived at my home due to the well-packed and how healthy it was. I have purchased plants through the mail before which I was never satisfied with because the plants arrived half-dead or in bad condition, when I ordered this plant I was not too optimistic, but was hoping to get a decent enough plant that I could replant. I was surprised to see how great and healthy the plant was. I replanted and it is growing.
