Cultivation requires a certain temperature, but despite being a subtropical plant, it dislikes high temperatures, and it seems that fruits will not grow if the high temperature of 30 degrees or higher continues. About 14 days after flowering and pollination, the fruit becomes clear, and then it tends to ripen and fall naturally in about a month and a half. It is a perennial plant that is distributed mainly in South America, and it is possible to harvest fruits for up to 4 years by completely pesticide-free cultivation. The name comes from the fact that passionflower is called “passion flower” in English, and it seems that passion does not mean “passion”. The inside of the fruit contains many small and hard seeds, and the flesh is bright yellow jelly-like and has a lot of juice.
It seems that there are times when you can’t feel the remarkable growth for about a month after planting the passion fruit seedlings, but it seems that it is not abnormal. It seems that the upper part tends to grow after the roots have grown. When planting in early spring, raising the soil temperature with vinyl mulch etc. will accelerate the growth of roots and the upper part. I also hear that it is a fertilizer-eating plant because it grows large from growth. In addition, no fruit will be produced unless pollinated. However, if it bears fruit at times other than the flowering season, it seems to stop growing.
