[1] The tree is branched and leafy above a bare, brown-barked trunk, and the large (10 to 90 centimetres (4 to 35+1⁄2 in) long) simple leaves form a moderately dense canopy.

[3] Trees are restricted to mountain cloud forests at elevations between 800 and 2,700 m (2,600 and 8,900 ft) above sea level.

Miguel Molinari, a medical doctor and amateur botanist specialising in Passiflora has successfully educated the local people in Merida about the importance of this rare species, and the remaining four trees have not been destroyed.

{{ Molinari also collected and distributed hundreds of seeds to botanical gardens and horticultural specialists.

[2] Greenhouse-grown plants in northern Europe do not tolerate the hot summer temperatures and cold short day-length winters very well, and as a result, do not thrive.

[1] According to Meadows, in Helensville, New Zealand, at an elevation of about 80 m, P. lindeniana grown outdoors flowered after about ten years.

Fruit set and matured when flowers were hand pollinated from another tree several hundred metres away.

[2] The Kew trees are growing in "slightly acidic, open, peat free, multipurpose substrate compost with added Perlite and fine bark" according to Vanderplank.

Cuttings should be taken in the spring or autumn, and placed in a humid environment in a free draining rooting medium.

[1] In glasshouse cultivation the major pests are red spider mite, mealy bug, thrips and scale insects.
