About 3 weeks ago we planted a new Passionfruit Vine and it is now looking sick with one of the two main leaves dropping off. A couple of years ago we tried and the thing died fairly quickly. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong please.

How did you prepare the soil? Dug a large area over, added compost etc? They are hungry plants, citrus fertiliser works well with them. And water. if it's dry, you have to give it a long, thorough soak once a week.
They are susceptible to fungal diseases too, spray with copper/sulpher.

You will find you can only grow passion fruit in the same place for a few years then they will die, you need to spray a lot of copper on them and that affects the soil.

We refuse to shop at Bunnings as they are Australian owned and trying to force their staff onto "flexible" rosters.

so if everyone stops shopping there those same staff are without jobs altogether.

If customers stayed away management would be forced to alter their position to a worker friendly one. There is no reason staff can not have fixed hours.

The purpose of this thread was to help with our passionfruit plant not to denigrate Bunnings or Australian Companies.

I'd suggest spray with copper, similar happened to our's after we bought it, leaves went bumpy, yellowed and fell off. Is now huge and happy, fed with citrus food and mulched ground around as it grows to retain moisture.
