Passion Fruit Possum Purple Price Includes Four (4) Plants

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.

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.

Arrived promptly, very healthy small plants.

Arrived alive ... still moist soil. Some torn leaves but overall healthy. Transplanted and responding well. Hoping the flowers and fruit are a they should be.

I brought this item about a month ago. They shipped fast and plants look good after open the USPS package. However, there is no instruction of any kind with those plants. I put them into two gallon pots with Miracle Growth potting soil, watered them, then placed them under southern california hot November sun. Those days were about 80 degrees. Within two hours, two of those four plants withered. I took them to the shade right away, put them behind 70% sun shade for a whole week. Those two plants tips died but plants seems still alive. I watered them once a week with RO water, same as bottled drinking water, slowly expose them to sun shine after first week. This week weather cooling down to 40 degrees in the night. So I covered them in a clear plastic trash bag to protect them from possible frost. They all alive now, though two of them still recovering from earlier hot sun damage. I would recommend these plants a good buy. Just make sure the first week not expose to extreme hot or cold, don't water too much.

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.
