Must-read for passion fruit planting

If the purchased passion fruit seedlings have yellow leaves, they need to be pruned, and when planting, you can dig a pit with a width of 30cm and a depth of 20cm, and then apply farm manure, within 5 days after planting, you need to use a sunshade net to cover the sun protection of the seedlings, and begin to water frequently about 10 days after planting, the appearance of yellow leaves or curly leaves in the seedling stage means lack of fertilizer and nutrition, fertilizing frequently, and be careful not to touch the roots. Pruning branches and leaves and building scaffolds in time in the later stage.

First, passion fruit planting must read

1. Cutting leaves

After receiving the seedlings, you need to take them out immediately, put them indoors in a cool place and pour a small amount of water to keep the leaves of the seedlings moist. If there are yellow leaves in the seedlings, or the phenomenon of losing leaves is normal, you need to cut off most of the leaves before planting. Cut off half of each leaf, and those without yellow leaves do not need to be cut.

2. Planting and applying base fertilizer

Can be planted in the basin of 30cm length, width and height, or in the fields and courtyards, you can dig 30cm wide and 20cm deep pits, then apply compound fertilizer, or farm manure about 2 jin, and then backfill the thick loose soil of 15cm, plant in the evening or rainy days, cut off the plastic bags for root protection with scissors, be careful not to get rid of the soil, and then plant the seedlings in the soil and cover the soil after pouring enough water.

3. Shading and watering

Within 5 days after planting, basking in the sun will affect the survival rate of the seedlings, so you can use a sunshade net to cover the sun, plant for about 10 days, and water regularly, but not when it rains.

4. Mature period

Purple passion fruit seedlings will blossom and bear fruit in 3-4 months, while yellow passion fruit seedlings will blossom and bear fruit in 7-8 months. generally, the yield in the first year is relatively small, and there will be a large number of flowering and fruiting in May in the second year, and there is no need for artificial pollination. 2 months after flowering, the fruit enters the ripening period.

5. Fertilization, pruning, scaffolding

In the process of seedling growth, the phenomena of yellow leaves and rolled leaves are caused by lack of fertilizer and nutrition, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently and pay attention not to spread to the roots of the seedlings. When the seedlings grow to 80cm, only 1-2 trunks need to be retained, and the excess can be cut off. In the later stage, the scaffold is built in the same way as planting grapes. You can find a bamboo stick to be inserted in the soil to pull the seedlings upward.

Matters needing attention in planting passion fruit

1. Climate

The main results are as follows: (1) passion fruit belongs to tropical fruit, so the temperature requirement is relatively high, and the suitable growth temperature is about 25 ℃, but it can grow normally as long as the temperature is not lower than 0 ℃. If it is lower than 0 ℃, passion fruit will have serious freezing injury, and even be frozen to death directly.

(2) in case of continuous frost and low temperature, it is necessary to keep the passion fruit warm in time, and the passion fruit can be insulated in the greenhouse. Although the demand for precipitation is not very high, it is more beneficial to its growth and development if it is planted in the area where the annual precipitation is about 2000mm and Rain Water is evenly distributed.

2. Land

The main results are as follows: (1) passion fruit has strong adaptability, although there is no high requirement for soil, if planted in a large area, the soil layer should be at least above 50cm, and the soil quality should be fertile, permeable and well drained.

(2) if the soil is relatively barren, it can not provide sufficient nutrients for fruit trees in a large area, which will cause poor growth and development of passion fruit and affect its quality and yield.

3. Variety

There are many varieties of passion fruit, such as Mantianxing and Tainong 1, because other varieties, such as Zixiang 1, will have a lower yield and spend more time and energy than other varieties, which will have a great impact on the economic interests of farmers, so it is necessary to select high-quality varieties for planting.

4. Planting

Although passion fruit has strong adaptability, if you want to plant on a large scale and obtain high quality and high yield, you still need to have good management and planting techniques, do a good job in pest prevention and control in the later stage, and trim branches and leaves in time.
