How do you grow passion fruit?

1. Seed and seedling selection

Passion fruit seeds as far as possible to choose high-quality seedlings, large size, good color is the most suitable. Soak the purchased seeds in warm water for one night in advance in order to improve the germination rate of passion fruit seedlings and be of great help to the later planting and cultivation.

2. Sowing time

To plant passion fruit, we first need to know at which time of year to sow seeds. Passion fruit can generally be sown in spring and autumn, and spring is concentrated around March every year. As the spring blossoms in March and the temperature picks up somewhat, the success rate of planting passion fruit will be greater. Sow seeds in the sand as much as possible, and remember to water them in a moist environment that day.

3. Soil selection

We have mentioned sandy soil above, for the choice of soil, passion fruit needs to survive in the soil with loose soil and good permeability, so we can choose peat soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand to mix. This combination is more favorable for water absorption, and can also add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to increase soil fertility.

4. Illumination time

Passion fruit is a light-loving crop, which is exposed to sunlight and can absorb nutrients. So we can choose the orchard base of passion fruit in a position with plenty of light, so that the fruit will be more sweet and delicious. If there is too little sunlight, the leaves of passion fruit will be obviously dim, and the taste of the fruit will become sour, directly affecting the later harvest. But when the sun shines, we should also pay attention to one point, do not grow in strong light for a long time, summer hot weather can consider using a shade net to cover.

5. Guard against cold in winter

Passion fruit is a relatively freeze-resistant plant, which can not be knocked down by the high temperature in summer and the low temperature in winter. However, if the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, the roots may be frostbitten, causing passion fruit to grow more slowly. Hardy passion fruit also needs us to do a good job of keeping warm, and it is most appropriate to control their growth environment at about 5-8 degrees Celsius. Safe wintering is very helpful for next year's harvest.

This is the end of today's introduction to the cultivation and cultivation of passion fruit. Passion fruit cultivation is not difficult, we just need to work hard to do every step. If you are contracting a large orchard for planting, it is recommended that you find a good dealer, or build your own ability to sell online and offline at the same time, so as not to delay the follow-up harvest.
