      The banana one is either diseased or its genetics predispose it to being more sensitive to conditions it is experiencing than the Panama red. Maybe it needs a different amount of water, different soil/nutrients, more or less light, who knows. Or if its a seed grown plants it could just be a weak one. Did it ever look healthy?

    2. I believe it could be a result of either over or under watering, depending on the climate you are in. However, it could also be a fungal disease (such as root rot or anthracnose) present in the root, which is why the leaves look fine (but wilted/floppy). It could also be due to poor drainage, perhaps try planting it directly into the ground, it thrives in free space.

      Not sure where the other person is getting diseased from. They seem to be leggy, as in not getting enough light. Very small leaves, large distance between them, as well as yellowing etc.

      The one that’s doing better is likely either getting a bit more sun, shelter from harsh conditions, or it’s just been lucky and it hasn’t dried out at the same rate.

      They need either much larger pots, or ideally to be in the ground. That is far too small for a passionfruit plant, and it looks like it dried up. Small pots need far too much watering frequencies, and it’s still not enough space.

      I wouldn’t be thinking of using anything less than a 50lt (convert to whatever unit your prefer) pot if you can’t put it in the ground.

      They will tolerate some cold, but younger plants are more sensitive to it. They also need full sun, so ideally the plant would be on the other side of this screen.

      Passionfruit are thirsty and hungry plants.
