Quick update on rooting the cuttings.

I have feeback from a few people that have been trying to root the cuttings of this Big Yellow passion fruit.

1. Don't root in water, most have died.
2. Plant in a pot, solil mix (some perlite, or catcus mix), bottom heat if you have it.

A few people have said their cuttings have started to show signs of growth.

Let me know if anyone else has success with the Dennis Big Yellow passion fruit cuttings.

Kaz,

Did you get any reports of success with rooting 'Dennis' cuttings using Rootone or other rooting agents?

To bring you up to speed, I put mine in water and have changed the water regularly but had to tirim the
tops back where they'd started turning brown.  Put some powdered Banrot on the cut end and now they're
staying green. But there is no evidence though of any root growth starting so far.  [ sigh ]

I believe they suffered heat stress in transit across country to Florida because all the sprouts at the nodes
had turned black and dried up.  There are new  small green buds starting at the nodes, but they don't seem
to be very vigorous. 

I'd like to to get a couple more from you to try, when available.  If it is possible to send via FedEx-ing them
overnight next time I believe that would avoid the stress.

Cheers!

Out of 4 cuttings, I have 1 left and I can see a root through the bag. Fingers crossed.

At least you got one growing. I didn't see any growth on any of my cuttings. I was way to busy with other things and did not have time to pot these up. Still have about 100 other fruit tree scions to graft now. I hope I can get one to root myself. I did plant some seeds but don't see any germinating yet.

UPDATE

Sorry, only have these last ones, they are not recent cut, just keep in cool refrig so it won't help you.

I will need to try some rootings. I haven't had time to try it myself yet.

Kaz,

As of this week one of the two cuttings has one root started plus one bud developing and starting to lengthen, but hasn't produced any leaves yet..

The other cutting I again had to trim off the bottom at an angle with a sharp knife and although it has no roots, there are tiny buds just starting to show at the old leaf nodes.  So this second one may start producing a shoot or two and maybe even a root before long.

The water has been changed about every other day, using filtered (PŪR) tapwater just to keep it as fresh as possible.

Fingers X-ed!

that sounds promising, good luck.

Best way to start Passiflora sp. cuttings I have found.

Peatmoss and perlite mix. Take cuttings with at least 3 leaf nodes. Cut leaves off of the bottom most node then dip in CloneX.

Bottom heat 70F to 78F, Led grow lights around 12 hours a day. 2 weeks should have decent amount of roots. In 3 weeks ready to move outside to 1 gal container in part shade.

Good info, have you rooted the Dennis passion fruit?

I did hear similar mix from a Passion Fruit expert at LBCC (city college) and he said it always works for him.

I'm planning to use the perlite and ProMix HP mix on my cuttings now. No LED, no clonex, just put in a pot outside in shade.

No I don't have Dennis Passiflora. I have a few seedlings I selected out of Brazilian Yellow large edulis type. The yellow type I have is about the size of Dennis. I also have a dark purple and a red type all seedling grown.

Update on Dennis, large yellow passion fruit cuttings.

For anyone who was successful in rooting the Dennis cuttings, please give your update and any photos of the plant if you can.
Thanks.

Hello sc4001992, here's my experience here in Florida:

Mine were placed in water and two of the three struck or started to strike roots.  Water was changed every two to three days and the recepticle was cleaned well. After a week or so some browning of the stem ends started so that was trimmed away and the cut end(s) coated with BanRot, then were set aside for a few hours to dry well and later placed back into the water.

Several nodes tried to strike buds but they never developed.  One node had about an inch-long growth but it never really grew.

Eventually the browning of the stems came back and the cuttings had to be discarded, sorry.

If I should get a chance to try some more cuttings of 'Dennis' later on I'll get them into soil as soon as root development is starting.

I think that part of the problem likely was that when they were shipped they got overheated in transit and many of the leaves had dropped by arrival.

I hope others have had better success getting 'Dennis' started and growing.  I will also be interested in hearing how they fared.

Regards

Paul M.

Paul, thanks for your update and experience rooting it. I will take a photo of the one water root cutting I just got from Dennis yesterday when we took more cuttings of the new growth since March.

This time, I'm just putting them all in soil mixture in a pot, keep in shade like guava cuttings and others.

[nullzero]

I wouldn't use water method just a well aerated moist medium and bottom heat. Transition from pure water to soil is hard for most cuttings. Rockwool might work well for rooting, have not tried yet.

Cuttings arrived in good condition. Thanks again Kaz!

Dennis was kind enough to give me more cuttings to spread to all our collectors and he gave me his one water rooted cutting. He said he just put this one in the shade outside and changed the water every 2 days. I plan to just pot it up right away today, so I bought a lot of small, tall pots for this task. Will use the expensive ($45) Pro Mix HP (which I never use on other plants).

Not even 10 days registered, and you got a cutting! Nice.

These look beast, I hope you have success
