Passion Fruit Possum Purple Price Includes Four (4) Plants

Day one: They look great!Small and young but healthy. 9-10"h. They appears to have been pulled from small cell seedling trays as the roots were reaching rootbound. Rich soil was left in the root balls. Shipped in a box with plastic wrapped around the roots during mid-90s FL temperatures with no apparent stress. I am no expert but the sellers seem to know what they are doing. Very impressed.

Good plants.

I got four plants, small and alive.I placed them in my raised bed, and let’s wait 😊My cat seems curious about them

Ordered these 4 month ago. They arrived looking fine. I immediately replanted them into containers and took very good care of them indoors for about 3 weeks. New leaves were growing and they seemed happy so I transplanted them outside in multiple spots (no risk of frost in my area). I noticed they stalled and slowly started to decline. Ultimately I gently pulled one out to see how the roots were doing and discovered that they were wrapped in some sort of synthetic fiber cloth (almost like landscaping weed barrier) and the roots couldn't get out. I don't know why anyone would wrap the root ball in this type of material as it completely strangled the plants. I'm just hoping I caught it in time that they'll recover. Overall, these were good plants so I'm still giving three stars but please find a better alternative for the soil/roots.

If you live in a hot climate (I am in southern AZ), purchase in late fall, winder, VERY early spring. They will not survive otherwise.I've purchased this item (from the same vendor: "Hello Organics") twice. The first time was in February 2019 (a little over 3 years ago), and the 2nd in June of last year.SHIPMENT #1:Feb 2019. These arrived a couple of days before they were scheduled to. I checked the shipping status almost daily and it NEVER indicated that it was going to arrive sooner.Hello Organics (vendor) sends these via regular mail without any indication that there is a plant inside or something fragile in it, etc. Mailperson sticks in mailbox like any normal package, as if it were a book, for example.My mailbox isn't directly in front of the house. I check it frequently, but not daily. I just happened to have swung by that morning after they were delivered. I can calculate they spent some 18 hours in the mailbox.Plants were wilted, very droopy. After battling to save them, ONLY ONE SURVIVED.SHIPMENT #2:June 2021. I made it a point to check my mailbox daily near the time the mailperson usually delivers. On some days I'd be there waiting as she came by. This time they arrived on the stated date.I was, however, about 3 hours late. Same as with the previous batch, I battled to keep them alive. ONLY ONE SURVIVED.PICTURES:I've attached a picture of each of the survivors.The one from the 1st shipment is thriving on the trellis I built for it. My goal is to fill that whole (east-facing) wall with passion fruit vines. This picture doesn't do it justice. It burns easily in the cold, especially when with frost. I will update the picture when it regenerates in the next couple of months. But the actual plant (stick) is green. It reaches 6 feet up and spans some 25 feet across and am constantly comb the vine sideways to prevent it from hopping the wall and getting on neighbor's trees.The one from the 2nd shipment is doing okay. After nearly a year, it continues to be in a small pot that I keep mostly indoors, protecting it from the extreme hear and extreme cold. It is a little over a foot long. I will be planting it some 6 feet or so away from the one that survived the 1st shipment.My 1-star Rating:These really should be shipped with the same care as when someone orders roses or some sort of flower arrangement. At the very least, a note to place in front of door or using a carrier that delivers to the address, not mailbox.It's not right that only 1/4 of my purchase is viable. And actually, that remains to be seen, as the 3 year old plant hasn't blossomed yet. I will make sure to update this post when it does, and also when it fruits.My suggestion, search for these at a local nursery or store.

Thank you !!!! love these! Came so perfectly packaged

All plants arrived alive, with moist soil and looked good. All 4 plants survived, have already been planted and have taken root, with green leaves. However, they are small and take a very long time to grow.

Shipped fast, packaged great and all 4 are very healthy, happy plants.
