Fabulous buy.. i first put them each in a small pot each (a few inch pot) then when it grew a few more inches, I put them each in a little bigger pot of their own.. As they grew I increase the size of the pot. I kept them watered regularly because in florida plants dry out. I gave them daily sun but not hot hot heat...
Wow, I love the results and will get some more shortly.. today, they graduated to their new pot. Pretty soon, my yard will be an orchard as I planted lots of fruit trees too.
Update 3 months later in July 2018. Tremendous growth and unbelievable progress
. See pictures. When i first purchased the plants 3 months ago they were only a few inches. I nurtured them to larger pots as the growth got taller. See them now! They are taller than my privacy fence. I tied the vine to guide the growth horizontal over the trellis I built.
The quality of the plant is incredible.
Update..I forgot to show pics ( the pic with the red mulch) when they were small, so here you go. I had repotted them twice by then. whEn I first got the plants they were the size of you forefinger.
July 29 update, see pics growing beautifully on a 6 ft pole with solid wire mesh
UPDATE AUG 11. see 2 new pic, growing so healthy..in just four months..plants were purchased in April and was the size in my pinky finger but look at them now.

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.

However, I was surprised to find the 2" pots were the height not the openings which are only 1.25". The plant height are about 2" from the soils.
The plants are claimed to be grown from cutting. However, I'm wandering how can they be so small. Most keep about 2-3 knots from cuttings, and the typical smallest lengths from the cutting are longer than 4".
My previous experiences were able to get passion fruits at least from September, sometimes from June, from fresh cuttings in the area of Houston, Texas. However, because of the smaller sizes, I'm hesitated if I can get any fruit before the freezes in the next year.
They seem to be grown from indoor. Therefore, I transplant them to 1 gallon pots with about 1/2 inch water under the pots and keep them away from direct sun. Passion fruits need a lot of moisture but the roots cannot be soaked into water. I will move them to the direct sun after a week of transition to promote the growth to see if I can get any fruit before the next freeze.
After 5 weeks, they all grow well to about 10" as shown in the photos.
