The passion flower, which is popular as an ornamental plant, has already surprised many a plant lover, because many species of the comprehensive genus can become very tall - and also need support when growing. Passiflora are perennial, herbaceous climbing plants that climb up a trellis, a wall or similar.
Suitable climbing aids for passion flowers
If you are looking for a suitable Passiflora for indoor culture, then you must pay attention to the vigor of the selected species: some types of passion flower can reach heights of between six and ten meters. Others remain significantly smaller. A round arch as a climbing aid is very suitable for indoor plants, as it gives the plant the opportunity to grow in a space-saving manner. Passion flowers outdoors, on the other hand, can climb up a metal trellis or a high wooden frame, although heights of three meters and more are not uncommon.
tips and tricks
At first, passion flowers grow quite slowly, but then they seem to explode. However, if your Passiflora gets too big, you can easily cut it back.
