Passion Flower turning into a ghost with white leaves - help
My young passion flower has green leaves starting to turn white and I am not sure of the cause.
They feel brittle to the touch.
I feed it tomato fertiliser and water once per week but it is getting worse recently.
See photo.
It's in a pot outside standing in full sun.
Most plants need to be taken out to the sun slowly. They will actually do better in the sun than the shade, but passion flower will handle part shade. The flowering will be better with its head in the sun the feet in the shade and kept on the moist side.
As long as the center of the leaf is still alive, I don't remove the leaves until the new leaves comes out. If it has any green left it can still do photosynthesis. If it becomes more necrotic looking then I would have to take the leaves off.
