So, remember about a month ago when I did this:
Yeah, that was a fail. I was keeping an eagle eye on my passionfruit to see whether it would settle in it’s spot, and it didn’t. I suspect the reason is because it was too low to the ground to get enough sun. I noticed its new leaves starting to wilt a little, and thought I had better move it sooner rather than later.
Look at its poor, wilting leaves and feelers :(
Rather than planting it in the ground again, I thought I’d go for something a little more portable, so that I could try some different spots if I needed to. Here’s the journey in pictures.
I selected an appropriate receptacle…
And removed the jelly beans.
I scored the bottom of the can with an xacto…
And punched out some drainage holes with a screw driver.
I moved Nellie to her new home, being careful not to break her roots…
I gave her some food and water, and put her in a sunny, north facing position (in our driveway).
So far, she seems to be doing better here – we might make the move permanent soon!

Me too!! I’m starting to suspect I have a black thumb! At least I can count on your good passionfruit-raising skills to provide some passionfruits one day ;)
Dulux do jellybeans? Wait…what…? :)
Haha they were doing a promotion while we were painting our house – you got a can of jellybeans for every 2 cans of paint!
Oh my gosh, I wish we had that offer here, I’d volunteer to paint the whole apartment!! :)
I can send you some if you like, we have a mountain ;) postage from Australia to Ireland shouldn’t be too much right?? Haha
Haha yeah! :)
