Passiflora membranacea cuttings for postage: 3 sets of 15

| I've been pruning my vine back and I'm generating cuttings. It's a spectacular plant and is attractive even out of bloom. I just got mine in April and it hasn't bloomed, however there are pictures online. For example:

In a favorable environment it's a fast grower, to put it mildly. However it has a reputation for being difficult to root.
Because of its fast growth I'm able to provide a lot of cuttings from my pruning. Because it's difficult, it's a good idea to try to root a lot of cuttings.
My success with cuttings has varied; typically about 10%, but they took 2-3 months to root. Recently (to my shock) I was able to get about a third to root within 18 days. Below are some cuttings I started around Halloween, photographed 15 days later.
Here are some of the cuttings I'm giving away:
The cuttings are already trimmed and ready to go. I have 3 sets of 15 cuttings. I'd like to get them in the mail tomorrow. I'm sending them Priority Mail which will be $5, Paypal preferred.
I'm not giving these out randomly. Please let me know your growing conditions, climate and anything else relevant. I would like to get these in the mail in the morning so that they arrive on Friday.
I will not be surprised if people have trouble rooting these. Bear in mind that you may get none of the cuttings to root--even if you are good at rooting things.

| Hi! I'd be happy to send $5 by Paypal for some cuttings. Although I live in Pennsylvania, I do have several passifloras that I keep under grow-lights during the winter. And--according to AccuWeather--our temperatures here are supposed to stay above freezing for the next week. So it would probably be safe enough to send cuttings now. If you'd be willing to let me have some, let me know the address to which you want the Paypal payment sent. Thanks! |

| In advance of tonight's freeze I cut my plant back more. I have two more sets of 10 cuttings. I trimmed these way back--all that's left is a short stem and a fraction of a leaf. They will not look like much. These have been rooting well for me, so hopefully 10 unrooted cuttings will be enough to get a couple plants. 22 of the group of 29 cuttings I started around Halloween now have roots. That is unusual for this species. Again I'd prefer to give these to those with the appropriate climate or growing conditions. I'll also include a small cutting that has just started to put out roots just in case. Annnie's Annuals has a nice picture and brief description for those not familiar with the plant: |

Hi, I'd like to get some of your cuttings. If any are still available, give me your address and tell me how much postage.
Instead of postage I could offer you some passiflora carulea with roots. Thanks |
