jakfruit etiquette says... I cant see why not. Genarally it is better to pot into the next size up pot, rather than the final big pot. Just repeat the process as the plant out grows its current pot. If you keep using the same pot mix, you shouldnt need to disturb the rootball too much. For any subtropical/tropical it is important to control waterlogging in winter, but have good waterholding over summer. Tall pots (ie shape of a common 9 litre bucket) give better drainage than squat pots. Try to keep the roots in the top 1/3 when repotting. Use a good quality pot mix, ie with some pine chips for structure and not all fine particles. Your main problem is the roots getting cold and damp in winter(root rot).I wouldnt rush to pot it up if weather is cooling down heaps. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 30th March 2015 8:19am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Could be more too it than that. These people are using 10litre to 20litre pots, but maybe even bigger would be better/ less intensive to manage. Pretty sure Ive seen passionfruit growing in hydroponic shops. http://www.actahort.org/books/275/275_26.htm http://www.cabdirect.org/abstracts/19940303747.html;jsessionid=F133ED884D42066A847A092D62CEED45 | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 5th April 2015 10:41pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... The question is very broad ranging, I have several in pots now, They go ape in hydroponics. I have a 2yo supersweet growing in an 8" hydroponic auto-pot, a giant yellow six months old in a 6" pot and a multiple flowering sweet Liliko still in a Daley's 3" supertube. So yes, I believe they can grow in pots, but, depending on your horticultural expertise, you can expect more or less production than traditional methods.
