How to plant and manage passion fruit? Is it okay to water the leaves?

1. Planting management

1. Planting: Passion fruit can be planted using seeds. After purchasing high-quality seeds, prepare some clean water, soak all the seeds in it, and take them out after about 24 hours. You can also use carbendazim to soak it, which can break its dormancy and help the seeds germinate better. After sowing, when the seeds turn white, place them in the soil and cover them with a layer of fine soil.

2. Management: After planting, water it thoroughly and it is best to cover it with a film, which can be removed after it sprouts. If you use an arch film, you should ensure proper ventilation during normal times and lower the temperature if necessary, otherwise the seedlings may be burned. Weeding should be done in time after the seedlings emerge, and thinning should be done when the seedlings have 2 or 3 leaves.

2. Is it good to water the leaves?

When watering passion fruit, you can pour water on the leaves. But if it is in the flowering period, you should be more careful not to splash water on the blooming flowers. Because water is more likely to accumulate on the flowers, it will cause the flowers to rot or wither prematurely. It is best to water the soil along the edge of the pot. When watering, the soil needs to be completely watered. But care should be taken not to allow too much water to accumulate, as this may cause root rot.
