Vine Transplant

Transplanting Vines from the Garden

The passion flower vine, as well as other vines and plants will sometimes produce offshoots up to five feet away from the mother plant .

Step 1: Remove any grass from the area surrounding the offshoot.

Step 2: Dig up the soil around the plant (3-5 inches from the stem) and cut or break the root.

Step 3: Dig up the plant trying not to break off tiny roots that have formed..

Step 4: Soak the plant roots in a pot submerged in a tub of water. Try to keep the leaves out of the water.

Step 5: Prepare a clean pot by placing a 1 inch layer of unprocessed sphagnum moss to prevent the soil from being washed out through the holes in the bottom of the pot. Mix 1 part peat, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part perlite and 1 part good potting soil mix. Fill the pot with the soil mixture until the pot is about 2/3 full.

Step 7: Sprinkle the top of the soil with about 1 tablespoon of Soil Moist and stir it into the soil

Step 8: Add enough of the soil mixture until the pot is 3/4 full. Water well.
