In India, Passiflora Caerulea is named fondly as  Kaurav Pandav flower, Rakhi flower, Krishna Kamal flower – but whatever name you call it this flower promises delight.

Passion flowers have a look and reputation for being exotic and hard to grow. The exotic, fragrant flowers on all passion flowers are open for only one day. But the flowers are so complex, colorful and stunning that it’s always a delight even if you only get a few flowers per vine.

Sun Requirements

Rakhi Flower Passifora or kaurav pandav flower needs full sun, with some afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Make sure it gets full sun direct almost 6-7 hrs a day. Most passion flowers repeat bloom from mid summer until fall

Passion flowers can also grow indirect sunlight, but they struggle in shaded areas. Specifically, Passiflora Caerulea requires at least 4 to 5 hours of sunlight each day. Whether you decide to grow your passion flowers indoors or outdoors, make sure they get plenty of sun with a bit of partial shade.

Propagation

Passion flower can definitely grow from from seed or cuttings from a friend, But I suggest if there is no friend to get it from, purchase plants from a local nursery. Rakhi Flower Passifora or kaurav pandav flower can be propagated using stem cuttings. The best time to take these cuttings is during the spring season when the vine is in full bloom. First, remove the leaves from the bottom part of the cutting. Next, place the cutting in a damp potting mix. Finally, keep it in a warm location to help the plant grow.

Soil Requirement

Plant passion flowers in spring on fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist with mulch. The mulch also can protect the roots in winter in cold areas.

Fertilization-

Passion flower is a heavy feeder , compost or cow dung every month. Avoid fertilizing in winters

Water

Passion flower/ Krishna kamal needs quite a lot of water. Water as soon as the top soil is dry
Like many flowering vines, if you don’t provide passion flower vines with enough water, they will wilt as will the leaves. Water your passion flowers if the soil is dry approximately 2 to 3 inches beneath the soil.

Infestation- bugs are rare but ants are very common to plant but are harmless unless they bring in bugs. Control aphids, white flies and spider mites with sprays of insecticidal soap whenever you see damage. Clean up dropped leaves in fall to reduce fungal diseases on the flowers and foliage.

Leaves almost drop of in winters but with springs they sprout out.
Enjoy the fully fragnant flower most of the time in the year except harsh winters
