Can the seeds of "Brazilian fruit" passion fruit be planted? How long will it take to germinate? How do you plant it?

Passion fruit is also known as pomegranate, passion fruit, passion fruit, rattan pomegranate, passionflower, egg fruit, etc., because its pulp can emit the flavor of strawberry, mango, pineapple, banana, litchi and lemon. Can the seeds of passion fruit be planted? How long will it take to germinate? How do you plant it?

It can be planted, but the seeds germinate slowly and the cuttings raise seedlings faster.

The best planting season for passion fruit is in March or April, so don't miss this time, and then choose the larger one when choosing the passion fruit, and then choose the larger one, and then the fuller the skin, the better, because the seed will have a high degree of maturity and the probability of growing new buds will be very high. Open it with an opener, then take out the seeds and soak them in warm water, about 30 degrees. Then knead the pulp, leaving only the seeds, and then after drying the seeds for one or two days, soak them in clean water. If you put some carbendazim, it will accelerate the growth of new buds. When 4/5 of the buds come out, you can sow. When choosing soil, it is best to choose sandy soil or nutrient soil with better drainage, then pour some water into it, and then spread the seeds evenly in it. Cover a thin layer of soil, spread the fresh film, put it on the balcony with ventilation and light, open the film and pour some water every two days, and you will see the seeds sprout after about a week. Slowly, when the seedlings grow to 8 centimeters, remove the short seedlings, leave the sturdy ones, keep them in the light, pour some water when they are dry, and apply some nitrogen fertilizer until it grows to 30 centimeters. It is necessary to build a rattan frame on the balcony, let it climb up and grow along the balcony, if there is a railing, you can also let it climb up along the railing, and actively develop new lateral buds until it is in the stage of flowering and fruiting, you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can make the fruit bear more. Artificial pollination should be carried out when flowering to ensure that it can bear fruit, and then the fruit can be harvested in autumn.

Seed planting methods:

1. Soaking seeds

Soak the seeds with 20 ℃ ~ 30 ℃ water before germination to make the seeds absorb enough water and speed up the budding speed. The duration of seed soaking varies with seed maturity and water temperature. The more fully mature the seed is, the longer the soaking time is, and the lower the water temperature is, the longer it takes. Generally, the seeds need to be soaked for 5 to 6 hours.

two。 Sprout

Seed germination needs to meet the required temperature, water and oxygen, and the light is dark and should be placed in the backlight. The germination was the fastest under the condition of suitable water, good air permeability and no light in the range of 25 ℃ ~ 30 ℃. Wrap the soaked seeds in wet gauze or wet towels, place them in large bowls or small bowls and wash them with 25 ℃ ~ 30 ℃ water once or twice a day. The seeds had better be mixed with fine sand of 3 times the seed volume, put into the water basin, turn the bank once or twice a day, and replenish water when the fine sand is dry. Seeds need to change temperature, 30 ℃ 8 hours every day, 20 ℃ 16 hours alternately, sprouting neatly. Under normal circumstances, it can sprout in 5 to 6 days.

The growing environment of passion fruit:

Temperature

The most suitable growth temperature of egg fruit is 20 ℃ ~ 30 ℃. Generally, it grows well at the temperature of no less than 0 ℃, and the plant will be seriously damaged or even die when it reaches-2 ℃. The area with annual average temperature above 18 ℃ is the most suitable for planting and easy to get high yield. Therefore, it is widely distributed in the warm and humid areas of southern China, especially in Hainan.

Moisture content

The egg fruit grows best when the annual rainfall is between 1500mm and 2000mm and is evenly distributed, while the commercial development planting area should not be less than 1000 mm. Eggs are more resistant to drought, but in case of drought, they still need irrigation. If the soil is too dry, it will affect the development of vines and fruits, and in serious cases, the branches will wither, the fruits will not develop and the fruit will drop. Pay attention to drainage during the rainy season.

Light

As a tropical fruit, egg fruit likes plenty of sunlight to promote vine growth and nutrient accumulation. The condition of long-day sunshine is beneficial to the flowering of egg fruit. In the area with annual sunshine hours of 2300-2800 hours, egg fruit has good vegetative growth, more nutrient accumulation, fast branch growth, early fruiting and high yield. The most suitable growth temperature is 20 ℃ ~ 30 ℃. Generally, the plant grows well at the temperature of no less than 0 ℃. When it reaches-2 ℃, the plant will be seriously damaged or even die.

Soil

The egg fruit has strong adaptability and does not have high requirements for soil. However, the soil layer produced in a large area is at least 0.5 meters, and the soil is fertile, loose and well drained, and the soil pH value is 5.5-6.5.
