1, scaffolding and planting trough

Because passion fruit is a vine, its stem is 10m long and its branches are slender and soft, so it is necessary to build a flat shed for roof planting. Scaffolding materials can be steel pipes, bamboo poles, steel wires, cement columns, etc. The height of scaffolding is generally between 2.5-3m. Passion fruit has strong adaptability and low requirements for soil, but it is not resistant to stagnant water and drought. The soil should be kept moist, especially the loose sandy soil with rich organic matter.

Roof planting can generally be made of bricks with a height of 80cm×40cm×50cm. The height between the bottom of the planting trough and the ground is 5~ 10cm, and drainage holes are reserved to prevent water accumulation. According to the scaffolding area on the roof, 1 planting trough should be prepared every 6~8m2.

2. Planting passion fruit in pot: planting in field

Passion fruit can be planted all year round, but spring and autumn are the best. When planting, the roots should be put straight, so as not to touch the fertilizer, so as not to hurt the roots. After covering the soil, water your feet. When planting in summer and autumn, pay attention to moisturizing and cover with straw to prevent water from evaporating too fast and ensure the survival rate. After the passion fruit is planted and survived, it is necessary to erect a column at the seedling stage, select 1~2 main vine, and knock off the other vine, so as to lure the main vine into the shed. When the main vines reach the shed, the terminal buds should be cut off to make the lateral vines grow evenly in all directions. As long as it is properly managed, vines can grow all over the scaffolding within 4~6 months.
