Tips to Grow Purple Passion

  1. Arrange good quality Purple Passion seeds.
  2. The soil should be Rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil. Prepare a small pot with seed-starting mix or rooting blend. Lightly water the soil and make a hole in the center with the end of a chopstick or pencil.
  3. Using a clean, sharp gardening blade, cut a portion of healthy stem around three inches long with several leaves. Trim all but the top four leaves off the cutting. Apply rooting hormone to the cut end of the stem, if using. 
  4. Plant the cutting in the soil hole and gently press the soil around the stem so that it’s stable. Moisten the soil with water.
  5. Create a humid environment for the cutting by tenting a clear plastic bag over the plant pot . You can also cut the top of a clear plastic bottle off and fit it within the planter’s circumference.
  6.  Place the cutting in a space with bright, indirect light—it needs less sunlight than a mature plant. Keep the soil evenly moist. Remove the plastic cover occasionally to dry the leaves.
  7. When you see new growth, the cutting has rooted properly and can be cared for as usual.
