HI
I have had this vine for about a month now it was approx 30 cm tall when I purchase and now is approx 1.8metres. It is starting to get new shoots every 7cm or so the whole way up the main branch. I want to kind of not let it grow to much taller do I just keep cutting the top off and let it grow sideways? Also I think something is ruining the leaves I never find any bugs but the leaves show marks on them as per the photo what bug could possibly be doing this and how would I get rid of it. Im currently only watering with seaweed fertiliser added every 1-2 days im hoping to have this flowering in the next month or so how could I help induce this.

Let it grow to the height you want, then cut off the top. It should develop new shoots - train one to each side, one left and one right.
The pic is too fuzzy to see what is on the leaf. Any reason it's still in a pot? Are you planning to keep it in a pot?

Hi Julie
Unfortunatly its a rented house so passionfruit needs to stay in a pot its quite a large pot so im hoping it will be ok. The leaves seem to have yellow staining on them but its only in spots. As the vine isnt in fruiting stage yet I did spray with confidor a few days ago but dont really want to keep doing that I would prefer a natural method of eliminating pests.
