Passifloras are propagated by cuttings or seeds. The 
new shoots are taken off when about 6 inches long, with a 
heel of old wood, and these will be found to root quite easily if planted 
separately in small pots filled with sandy soil. Cuttings of P. cerulea 
will strike out of doors, but it is a more certain method to keep them in 
a close frame, or covered by a bell-glass in the greenhouse. All the 
species, except P. cwrulea, require greenhouse or stove treatment for 
successful flowering, and should be planted in a large pot, tub, or a 
shallow border. If there is no restriction of the roots these will wander 
to great distances and send up suckers where not desired. We have 
known them to penetrate foundations and send up shoots inside the 
dwelling-house against which they were planted. They are thirsty 
plants, but good drainage is a necessity. Turfy loam with an admixture 
of peat and sand will be found to suit them admirably, though ordinary 
garden soil will give good results. They all enjoy a liberal allowance of 
sunlight ; they are therefore adapted for training under the roof-glass of 
an unshaded greenhouse or conservatory. P. cerulea forms an excellent 
sereen.
