Passion fruit, also known as egg fruit, is a herbaceous vine of the genus Passiflora of Passifloraceae. It has a flowering period of June and a fruiting period of November. The flowers are large and beautiful without fragrance and can be used as garden ornamental plants. Fruit can be eaten raw or used as vegetable or fodder, and it can be used as medicine with exciting and strong effect. in other parts of China, egg fruit is known as "king of fruit juice", "cash cow" and so on. So, when will passion fruits be planted? How long can it blossom and bear fruit? How to plant it?

When will passion fruits be planted?

According to Mr. Li, the grower, the best time to plant passion fruit is in spring or autumn. When planting, you should choose cloudy days or sunny days after rain. Seed reproduction and split-plant reproduction can be used for reproduction.

When the seed is propagated, choose a large, full fruit to leave the seed. Remove the peel and pulp, remove the seeds, wash and dry for storage. The seeds were sown in March the following spring. Sow the seeds evenly on the seedling bed, cover the fine soil 2 cm, water and moisturize, and the seedlings can be planted for 1 year.

Ramet propagation was planted by digging out the seedlings germinated from the root of the plant. The holes were opened according to the row spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm, and 1 plant was planted in each hole.

How long will passion fruit blossom and bear fruit?

After the passion fruit is planted, if it grows healthily, it can blossom in 70-90 days, and it takes about 60 days for the fruit to develop and mature. The growth cycle of seedling planting is relatively long, generally blooming in 180 to 200 days, and the fruit needs about 80 days to develop and mature.

Third, how to grow passion fruit?

1. 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.

2. Moisture

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.

3. Lighting

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.

4. 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.
