It took awhile, ‘cause I did not follow directions, and start my little cutting in a small bucket. I planted it right into the ground, and crossed my fingers…,So far, so good.
Hi Alan, glad to hear your passion fruit is growing well. Wishing you the best for your plant baby!
Excellent shipping and packaging healthy starts very happy with my purchases will be a repeat customer
Nice plant with good condition.
Plant arrived in rough shape and has not improved, probably not gonna make it!😞
Plant arrived in great condition and is doing well!!!
The plant arrived in very bad shape. The leaves were yellow and dry. A couple of days late,r the leaves start falling off. I do not think it's going to survive.
Plant arrived alive with green leaves. Shipment was very fast.
really great delivery to Anchorage Alaska, well done, it's day1
Plant came with only one leaf still attached at the top. I don’t think it was shipped out in this condition because there were 4 loose inside of the box when I first opened it up. Last leaf fell off the very next day and now I am almost 100% positive my plant has already died. Hopefully you guys have some kind of guarantee to compensate for this. I don’t want my money back, I just want another plant that’s actually in good condition this time like I should have recieved. Will update review once I have heard back from the seller 🙏
This plant was battered when it arrived. I was able to keep one leaf attached and it withered. Now all that is left is a tiny stump which I hope comes back around, but I doubt it.
The other Granadilla that I bought seems okay. The leaves are yellow but it's hanging in there.
I am beyond thrilled with the Amazing, unique Passion Fruit plant that I received! The packaging and condition are superb!
Received plant packaged well , nice starter size, healthy.

Came very well packaged, I'm happy with my plant..thank you
Well packaged. My plant arrived fresh and alive no withering of any kind. I purchased 6 different plants from various sellers back in June of this year but this plant (Granadilla Passion Fruit Vine - Passiflora quadrangularis) was the only one that survived. This plant was 5 " tall when I received it and now it's 24" tall, striving!. I recently had to transfer it to a bigger pot.
