(I've never actually seen a passionfruit vine like this, so I find it fascinating.)

Yeah maybe I'll cover it. What material do people use for that?

I use "frost shield" for the plants I cannot move. Any nonwoven fabric should do the trick. All it does is separate the ice from the majority of leaves, while allowing the plant to breathe and some light through.

That's why you have to uncover on sunny days, so the plant get some sunlight and the melting frost doesn't weigh down on three fabric and burns the leaves anyway.
