So how to grow potted passion fruit? If you do these things, you can get delicious passion fruit!

I. the cultivation of passion fruit

Family cultivation of passion fruit usually chooses the way of seed propagation. Generally sowing in the early spring season, usually in March-April, when selecting seeds, you need to pick out the seeds from the full passion fruit, then rinse them clean and dry them, or soak the seeds in carbendazim solution. this can also improve the germination rate of seeds, which can generally be sowed after 3-5 days.

Spread the prepared passion fruit seeds evenly in the pot soil, then cover one to two centimeters of soil with fine sand, and finally water the pot plant properly to wait for the plant to germinate. After the emergence of the plant, after about 2-3 true leaves, the plant can be transplanted and planted. During the growth of the seedling, more attention should be paid to the removal of weeds to avoid occupying nutrients in the soil and affecting plant growth.

II. Management of passion fruit

1. Light

If you want to harvest full and nutritious passion fruit, then the plant must get enough light. No less than 8 hours of light a day, can generally grow in full sunshine, even in the hotter summer, passion fruit plants do not need to make certain shading measures. If the lack of light, the greatest impact is the fruit growth, usually the harvest of the fruit shape will be relatively dry, less pulp, dry grain without meat, low nutrition, taste and passion fruit taste is far from the original.

two。 Soil

Passion fruit plants have no special requirements for soil, and can grow well in general soil. But usually choose loose, good drainage and fertile sandy soil or rotten leaf soil as culture soil, so that the growth rate of plants in the seedling stage is faster, and the growth is more robust and less susceptible to disease than ordinary passion fruit plants. Do not grow in the soil that is too sticky, otherwise the plant will be stunted and the seed setting rate will be greatly reduced.

3. Watering

Passion fruit is more resistant to drought, so when the air humidity is high, it does not need too much watering, watering twice a week; watering the basin soil thoroughly, but can not make the soil stagnant water, otherwise it may cause the plant to have rotten roots. When Rain Water is more in summer, we should pay attention to the timely drainage of potted plants, and the water permeability of the selected container is better. In the drier winter, due to the decrease of temperature, the water consumption of plants is lower, so the amount and frequency of watering need to be reduced, usually once every 7-10 days.

4. Fertilizer application

In the season of exuberant plant growth, such as spring and summer, the need for fertilization of passion fruit is more, topdressing every 7-10 days, during which more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be added; while in the fruiting period of the plant, compound fertilizer based on nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer should be applied, it is not suitable to use a single fertilizer, and occasionally it can be replaced by rotten nitrogen fertilizer.

If it is not fertilized in time, the plant will affect the growth of its buds and fruits because of the lack of nutrients, and the lack of fertilizer for a long time will easily lead to plant wilt, dwarf of plant shape and so on, so reasonable fertilization is very important.
