Passion fruit planting management includes: watering, fertilizing, pruning, pest control, picking and storage.

1. Watering

Passion fruit likes a humid environment, so it needs frequent watering. During the dry season, water at least once a week, and the soil should be thoroughly watered each time, but avoid over-watering that may cause oxygen deficiency in the roots.

2. Fertilization

Passion fruit needs sufficient nutrients to maintain good growth. During the growing season, organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer should be applied once a month to increase soil fertility and improve fruit quality.

3. Pruning

Passion fruit grows quickly, so it needs to be pruned frequently. Pruning helps control crown size and promotes fruit growth. The specific methods are as follows:

(1) Remove dead branches and parts infected by diseases and insect pests.

(2) Keep the trunk and main branches, and remove overly dense branches and crossing branches.

(3) After the fruits mature, cut off old and diseased branches in time to promote the growth of new branches.

(4) When the crown of the tree is too dense, it can be trimmed to maintain an open shape.

4. Pest and disease control

Passion fruit is susceptible to powdery mildew and aphids. During the growth period, insecticides and fungicides should be sprayed regularly to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases. At the same time, attention should be paid to promptly cleaning fallen leaves and diseased leaves to reduce the breeding of pests and diseases.

5. Picking and Storage

After passion fruit matures, it should be picked in the morning or evening to avoid the impact of high temperature and sunlight on the fruit. After picking, they should be placed in a ventilated and dry place to avoid direct sunlight and moisture. Ripe passion fruit can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, or refrigerated to extend its shelf life.
