Fertilizer?

I use to buy "triple 17" at Comer. Don't know about Soriana as I try to avoid them.////////Do you know how the maracuya plant grows? It's a climbing vine and WILL take over, quickly.(but I love the fruit)

I thought the Soriana would have it, but I haven’t seen it. It seems to me that the gardening-type stuff area has been lessened since the renovations last year. I’ll try again although I don’t like going there now.

I had a pergola built a couple of years ago and needed a vine to give me shade. I tried “teléfono” (potros), but it burned in the sun. My first try at maracuyá was a failure because the holes that were dug were not big enough to provide enough nutrient-rich soil. (Digging in clay/lava is no fun. I’m glad I didn’t try to do it myself.)

Now the maracuyá is thriving, giving shade and fruit. And yes, I have to keep it trimmed back so that it doesn’t damage the roof.
