Passion fruit planting method

1. Digging a pit

Within 2 months before transplanting, dig pits 0.7m deep and 1.3m long according to a certain spacing. Return to the pits within 1 month before transplanting to apply the most basic fertilizers. Apply 20kg of agricultural fertilizer, 0.5kg of lime magnesium phosphate fertilizer, and 1kg of peanut bran to each pit. The base fertilizer must be fully mixed with the surface soil.

2. Pruning

After the passion fruit seedlings survive, leave 1-2 main vines on the rack, then cut off the extra side branches. The branches close to the main vine will bear fruit first, and the fruit will fall off after it matures. Cut off 2-3 nodes in time and wait until winter to harvest all the fruiting branches.
