How to pollinate passion fruit (self-pollination and artificial pollination)

1. Self-pollination

The passion fruit flower is surrounded by a circle of purple tendrils, which are brightly colored and attract many insects. They can also catch the pollen dropped by the male flowers, so that they can complete the pollination process themselves. Or perhaps insects that are attracted to collect nectar and pollen will leave their pollen on the flower when they pass by here, and when the flower is wrapped, it will just rest against the stigma. It is also possible to apply it directly on the stigma of the pistil to achieve pollination.

2. Artificial pollination

The passion fruit blooms after 9 am and lasts for about two hours. It will close after 11 am, so pollination must be done within two hours of flowering. When pollinating, use a cotton swab, brush or paper towel to dip the pollen from the stamens and then apply it to the stigma of the pistil. It usually has three pistils, so be careful to apply them one by one. If pollination is successful, you will see small fruits in about three days, and they will grow rapidly within half a month. If it fails, the flowers will generally fall within two days.
