First of all don't use sharp scissors as you can cut your fingers!
A friend stopped by yesterday with 4 huge Passifloras that he wanted me to babysit. When they arrived I went oh my, you haven't taken cuttings?? No that is your job!
Well 2 1/2 hours later and many cuttings in water as I'm allowing the dirt to warm up here is the first one. I won't show you the others as they were huge!! Ya need to untangle, cut the side shoot, check to see if they are solid not hollow and cut to the size you want to root. Clean out the top of the pot, add dirt and sent them back outside as these are all hardy ones!!
He was happy when he left as he got a new one that was rooted in Nov. when we usually do ours.
