Do I need to build a trellis or pinch the top of passion fruit seedlings when planting them in pots?

1. Whether to use scaffolding

Passion fruit seedlings generally do not need a trellis when they are first planted in a pot, but when they grow to 5 months, they need a trellis. It is a climbing plant. If you don't want to build a trellis, you can also use a long umbrella, remove the awning on the umbrella, and leave only the umbrella-shaped steel bar.

2. Use pinching?

Passion fruit seedlings in pots need to be pinched so that they can grow faster. The leaves should also be removed appropriately to slow down the loss of nutrients and make the trunk more nutritious. Generally, after the seedlings resume growth, the side buds should be removed as soon as possible to allow the main trunk to grow thicker.

3. Notes

During the cultivation period, the soil in the pot must not be too dry. A too dry environment will hinder the growth of the vines and affect normal fruiting. Potted plants are mostly planted outdoors, so be careful not to be exposed to rain. If there is no time to shelter from the rain, drainage must be done in time. In addition, we must prevent the invasion of diseases and pests, ventilate more often, and apply appropriate fertilizers to make the plants grow stronger.
